streeting says the plan includes 40 new treatment centres, up to 15 mental health crisis hubs and nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goalis nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goal is to fast track care and reduce pressure on a&e departments. ministers say the reforms could mean that hundreds of thousands fewer patients face long waits in emergency departments. kharkiv has suffered its most powerful attack of war so far, with russia launching a deadly barrage of bombs, drones and missiles overnight. at least three people were killed and 21 injured, with ukraine's president calling it part of a wider assault targeting civilians and infrastructure. more than 400 drones and 45 missiles were fired across ukraine, including strikes on the capital, kharkiv mayor says over 40 explosions shook the city in just 90 minutes. meanwhile, kyiv and moscow are preparing for a major prisoner swap this weekend, expected to involve up to 500 detainees. river island is in the process

sam. let's get straight into today's story, shall we? official documents have revealed that expressing concerns about mass migration is now classed as a potential terrorist ideology. that�*s under the government�*s that�*s under the government's anti—radicalisation programme called prevent, which is ironic because it actually prevents pretty much nothing anyways. an online training course lists a cultural nationalism, the belief that western culture is under threat, basically as a warning sign that could trigger intervention. this comes despite senior politicians, including the prime minister, having voiced similar concerns about immigration in the past. >> we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. 50 when walks forward together. so when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in lower paid workers rather than investin lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people, or simply one that is sold by

politicians to the british people on an entirely false premise, then you're not championing growth. you�*re not championing growth. you�*re not championing justice or whoever else. people defend the status quo. >> okay. interesting. all right. joining me now is former conservative uk government adviser lauren mckevitt. lauren, good to see you. thank you so much for joining us now. lauren, this week i've been thinking the world has gone even more mad than usual. and we were just chatting just now that, you know, we get the politicians we deserve. okay, i don�*t know what deserve. okay, i don't know what we did in a previous life, lauren, but we seem to have every political party at the every political palty at the moment in meltdown. we have reform infighting, we have labour telling a few pork pies here and there, we have conservatives infighting, and now we have the fact that if we're worried about immigration, which 41% of the country are now saying that's a priority, that saying that�*s a priority, that we are potentially terrorists. >> i think that's probably a bfidge >> i think that's probably a bridge too far. and i think that we haven't seen a minister come out and support this, this line within prevent. and there's within prevent. and there�*s probably a pretty good reason

for that. it's because somebody for that. it�*s because somebody has. it's because it's stuck. exactly. somebody has stuck a line in somewhere, and it hasn't gone through the proper channels for being signed off. and some at some point, a minister this week is going to turn around and say, no, that's probably a bit silly. we�*re going to have to silly. we're going to have to tone that down. i think that the prevent programme needs some work. i don�*t necessarily think that its genesis was a bad idea. i think having a system whereby you can have early intervention for extremist ideas, particularly in schoolrooms, etc, is not necessarily a bad thing. i think we probably need to look again at what definitions we're using, and i think we probably need to make the system more robust because too many people are slipping through the net of it. but i don't believe that this was don�*t believe that this was a sensible, sensible update for it. >> do you think with prevent i mean, it's a notoriously it's made so many space with, with proper terrorism. i mean sort of like the southport killer, for example, slipped through the net three times. yeah. we had i think the westminster bridge attacker was being monitored by prevent. not very well. and there are countless examples of them actually messing up on, on serious terrorists who actually want to kill us and in many

cases do succeed in killing people. we know that with prevent, 80% of the cases that cross their door are islamic terrorism. the other 20% are far right extremism. but do you think this is some kind of cockeyed way of sort of like balancing it out? so we don't all think that it's all, you know, islamist terrorism that's know, islamist terrorism that�*s a problem. we�*re all jumping on that islam is a bad thing bandwagon. do you think it's a way of trying to politically smooth things out? >> no. i think the biggest problem we have with prevent is actually that failure is an orphan and success we don't end “p orphan and success we don't end up hearing about. so the failures that slip through the net are the big, you know. >> fairly dramatic. >> fairly dramatic. >> fairly dramatic. we >> fairly dramatic. we have failed in this instance, but the amount that the system stops is not something that we actually know that much about. and that's because, you know, operationally, the state doesn�*t operationally, the state doesn't release more than it absolutely has to about the people that it's monitoring about the interventions that it's making, about the successes they may have in turning the boat around

through a system like prevent. they have an annual report, but beyond that, they aren't in the papers every single day saying, look at everything that we've stopped, because by its nature, that's not the way that our intelligence services domestically work. the failures, however, the failures tip into very, very obvious media consumption. their lives. exactly. so. exactly. so by its nature, we know about the failures in a really big way. we don�*t necessarily know about the don't necessarily know about the successes in the same way, and the speculation we have from the outside is reflecting that. i don't know if the state can don�*t know if the state can alter how it publicises the positives versus the negatives, the successes versus the failures without damaging their operational capabilities. but i think that prevent has a significant enough pr problem, that it's probably time that they begin to look at this. >> do you think it is time that we actually looked at the whole prevent, the way it�*s formed, the way it's built up, the people who are involved in it? i

interviewed someone who had formerly worked for prevent quite a while ago now, and they're saying it's literally run by sort of like, you know, by by social workers a lot of the time who are, you know, at the time who are, you know, at the goodness of their hearts are going to feel more kindly to people rather than people that 9°: people rather than people that go, and actually, you�*re criminal. >> i think there's two questions here. there�*s the there's the here. there's the there's the parameters that it's looking at and there's the operational capabilities of prevent. and i think they probably both need looking at, but in slightly different manners. how are we staffing it? how are we organising it? how are we financing it. you know, what tools do they have available to them in order to make the judgement calls they need to make? versus once they make a judgement call, how are they enacting it? how is it being followed up? and a lot of this has to do with, you know, things i�*ve spoken about on your program before about state failure and multiple areas. how are other sections of the state picking up on what preventer telling them? because if prevent stick their hand up and say, we have a concern about this guy, this section of the state referred him to us and the three other sections that have to do something, don't do anything. something, don�*t do anything. then they�*re shouting into the wind to a little bit. there�*s

very little that they are going to be able to do, but they will ultimately carry the pr can for it having failed. >> this is all very easy to laugh at because in theory we could we could report keir starmer to prevent, couldn't we? i mean, some of the things he's said could be inflammatory and could prove that he�*s worried could prove that he's worried about immigration. he changes on about immigration. he changes on a daily basis, obviously, but it's all very well laughing at that aspect of it. but this stays on your record even if you are found to be not an extremist, not influenced by anything, not out to try and blow up a concert hall, for example, full of children, but it stays on your record. >> yeah. and i think, i think part of the problem that we have here, and i thought this about the axel rudakubana case, we have a very serious crisis in the mental health system within this country, and there are people who will be being people who will he being referred to this because they have an underlying mental health condition that that is, is basically portraying itself through being isolated online, believing extremist ideologies because of isolation, because of, you know, sort of single track thinking that is a that is

an element of a mental health problem that's underlying. and i think that the way the mental health system is working, not just in england, but across the united kingdom in all four sections of the nhs, is not sufficient when it comes to the fact that certain people will believe things who have a mental health condition that will make them dangerous people and they need to be, you know, removed both for their own protection and for the protection of others. and we don't have a very healthy conversation in this country about what that should look like. we have tipped, i think, too far into the care and the community bracket. there are people who should not be on the streets, and that is both for their protection and for ours. and in the social contract of the way the modern state is supposed to work, we have to be able to have a conversation about keeping them in a protected environment that is of the best of its kind, but that is protecting us from them and them from us. and we aren't having a good enough conversation. >> about the conversation that we can indeed carry on in the next hour. lauren, because you will be coming back where we will be coming back where we will be coming back where we will be talking also about the nhs and rachel reeves spending

plans for legitimately. for once she can mention a black hole and we all go, yes, you're right, this is a black hole and you�*re pounng this is a black hole and you�*re pouring more money into it on the nhs. but more of that to come in the next hour, so you don't want to miss that one. don�*t want to miss that one. thank you very much, lauren. now on the issue of prevent, the home office have said prevent is not about restricting debate or free speech, but about protecting those susceptible to radicalisation like the prime minister. potentially. alright, i�*m joking. we�*re counting down to your latest. your best summer so far with 54,321. see what they did 54321. get it in tax free cash. it's got to be one and it could be yours. it's the biggest cash great british giveaway today. and it really could be in your pocket this summer. here's all the details you need. >> it's our biggest cash prize to date and you can win it £54,321 in totally tax free cash could make your year the best yet. how would you react if you

hello and welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom thank you so much for your company this busy saturday afternoon. now we�*re going to afternoon. now we're going to talk about another dawn. now, that's a great name, isn't it?

not many of us around, but this one you might not be so fond of at the moment. dawn french has landed in hot water after a strange video about the october 7th hamas attacks. posting in a baby voice, she sparked outrage outrage by seemingly mocking israel�*s supporters. the clips israel's supporters. the clips naturally gone viral and many are asking was she just being edgy or did she cross a line? have a listen. >> complicated? no. but nuanced. but you know, bottom line is no. yeah, but, you know, they did a bad thing to us. i mean, i don't know. yeah, but no, but we. my man, didn't we? i don't know history and. you know. no, those people, not even people i don't

really. know. >> now, i've interviewed dawn many times in the past. we bond over our name. we once got locked in a loo together, but that's another story. but. and this strikes me as very, very strange. obviously, we're all entitled to our opinions about this situation, and what is going on is absolutely horrific. but this video is just i don't know, it doesn't make sense. so know, it doesn�*t make sense. so let�*s see if our two guests can let's see if our two guests can make sense of it. joining me now is chairman of the national jewish assembly, gary mond, and journalist and broadcaster fahima mahomed. thank you both so much for joining me. i�*m so much forjoining me. i'm going to come to you first, gary, on this one. what did you make of dawn's video when you first saw it? >> it's absolutely outrageous. what happened on october the 7th was the mass murder. indeed, it was the mass murder. indeed, it was a pogrom of some 1250 innocent people, together with raping many, many women. together with the torture and murder of children. it was the

worst event that happened to the jewish community since the holocaust. and what dawn french's essentially doing is she is mocking it. she�*s also she is mocking it. she's also comparing it to what's happening in gaza. those are two separate situations. but the first point is that she has mocked the pogrom in jewish history since the holocaust. it is absolutely unacceptable, and i hope that marks and spencer decide to dispense with her services as a result. >> strong word, gary, and completely understandable, obviously for him. what did you make of it? >> i just find it completely >> ijust find it completely hypocritical. while critics like dawn french are smeared for speaking out, we have the israeli soldiers that have openly mocked palestinian suffering on social media, posting with bombs labelled from israel with love, filming themselves dancing in destroyed homes and joking about starvation in gaza. so this is not defence, this is dehumanisation and the world sees it. and that's exactly why people like dawn french are speaking out. and they have had

this public reaction shifting because her video has been spinned as offensive, when actually it�*s a reflection of the growing outrage. people are seeing the double standards and they see the censorship, and they see the censorship, and they see the censorship, and they see that this war is no longer about freeing hostages, but about destroying an entire population while refusing any outside scrutiny, including inside israel. when former israeli prime minister, a former us state department official and millions of people across the faith are saying the same thing, maybe that�*s, you know, maybe that's, you know, something that we need to consider that the truth is finally breaking through, and that�*s what the upset is. that's what the upset is. >> okay, let's let's bring gary >> okay, let�*s let's bring gary back. gary, i can see you shaking your head on this one. what would you like to say to fatima? >> yes. firstly, with regard to matters inside israel, those are political disputes because many politicians do not like benjamin netanyahu, and they�*re using every possible means of getting at him such as this. he generally has overall support among the population when it comes to the electoral. when it comes to the electoral. when it comes to the electoral. when it comes to an election, what i would also say is israel is

fighting a war. it's a war fighting a war. it�*s a war against a genocidal organisation that wishes to destroy every single jew living there. the way to bring this war to an end is for hamas to surrender, and to release every single one of those hostages, living and dead. thatis those hostages, living and dead. that is the way to solve the problem. if october the 7th hadn't happened, there wouldn't be a single dead gazan caused by this war because the war wouldn't have happened. and what i find interesting is you may have remembered in the news about a week ago, vladimir putin issued a surrender document, effectively to the ukrainians. what should now be happening is the israelis need to issue a surrender document to hamas and their fellow supporters in gaza, and that needs to bring everything to an end. we have to terminate hamas. it is a genocidal terrorist organisation, and those gazans who supported are equally culpable. >> for him. what would you say to the argument that obviously no one condones what is going on? i mean, two way too many people are losing their life, but it was the way dawn french did that video in that little

girl baby voice. oh, look what happened. it was bad, wasn't it? i mean, it was it was beyond bad. i mean, young women were were were raped and murdered and children were killed and entire families were set on fire. that�*s beyond a little bit bad, isn�*t it? >> again, it's just the one sidedness. so let me get this straight. every journalist, every aid worker, every human rights agency, every un body, every international court, and every international court, and every former israeli and us official, they were all hamas supporters. now they were only israeli government tells us the truth and that�*s, you know, defence, that's propaganda. and how the authoritarian. >> what about the way for him? yeah. the politics, you know, what about the way she did it. >> mocking why no one is talking about that. that's been on social media from before and up till now. why is it only one side? why is it only only on that side? i don't understand that side? i don't understand that when that mocking. >> because they are soldiers fighting for him. i'm sorry. they are soldiers in their mind. they are soldiers in their mind. they are soldiers in their mind. they are fighting a war. that's a different mindset to a celebrity. a very, very well—known celebrity. putting on

a baby voice and talking about the rape and murder of innocent young women. >> well, actually, she's not really. you guys are just alluding and making assumptions of what she's actually referring of what she�*s actually referring to. this at the moment is just not even saying anything in regards to that. it's just an assumption when she�*s expressing assumption when she's expressing her freedom. >> 50 gary, gary, gary, sorry >> so gary, gary, gary, sorry for him. let me just bring gary back into this. gary, you're shaking your head. what else could she be referring to about what happened on that day? >> i don't know, i think it's crystal clear. she was she was referring to the events of the 7th of october, but there is actually a much sicker point at the back here, the background here, and that is that we see so many sports and entertainment celebrities getting involved in politics. i've always throughout my life been a firm believer that sports and entertainment on the one hand, and politics on the one hand, and politics on the other hand, should not mix. it is wrong for celebrities to start getting involved in issues like this, whatever their views may be. >> well, even former chiefs and i and you know, the israeli

soldier generals are warning netanyahu that the war is radicalising a new generation and damaging israel's, you know, sort of future. so even when your own security leaders are saying enough is enough, maybe it's time for you all to listen. >> no, i think what happens at the end of the war is what happened at the end of the second world war with the marshall plan and the deradicalization of german children. so they didn't grow up for the rest of their lives to hate british and americans and russian people. what has to happen is a de—radicalisation operation throughout gaza and throughout judea and samaria as throughoutjudea and samaria as well, for that matter. >> the only one. >> the only one. >> i see. >> i see. >> right now is point 8 million. >> right now is point 8 million. >> at a time. sorry. let gary let gary finishes point. gary finish. >> .1. 8 million muslims live perfectly happily without being radicalised in israel, lead very successful lives. why can�*t this successful lives. why can't this also happen in gaza and judea and samaria as well? that's what i want to. >> know, fatima. >> know, fatima. >> well, i think at the end of the day, when we see people like josh paul, a former state department official who resigned over the us arms transfer to

israel, saying that the military campaign in gaza meets the definition of war crimes targeting civilians, blocking aid and creating mass displacement. that i think, again, we need to obviously, you know, reiterate your rhetoric here, and i can understand why you're crying because the world is finally waking up to the truth, and you are the ones that has to really be open to what this criticism really means. and it's not against what you�*re saying, but what thousands and millions of people are saying across the board, including the hostages, the families of the hostages, the families of the hostages, including people in israel holding up, you know, the children that are actually in gaza that are actually being killed by the thousands. and again, the mocking is notjust one side, but we are only picking on one side because, again, it's the narrative of one side that you want to just, you know, propagate, propagate for your agenda. >> okay, gary, you�*ve got an >> okay, gary, you've got an agenda. >> the world is split between those who wish to tolerate militant islam and those who wish to fight against it. israel is fighting a battle, really, on behalf of all of those who do not wish to be subjugated by militant islam, that is a fact.

>> well, those children. >> well, those children. >> militant islam. what are they targeting? the tents. you know, people in hospitals, you know, all of those aid workers, even officials that are went there and they were targeted. come on, wake up. i don't know what you're talking about. >> you targeted hamas. >> you targeted hamas. >> hamas was operating under hospital. >> one at a time. >> one at a time. >> one at a time. >> on mainstream tv. no one can hide behind those lies that you are now trying to, you know, put out there. it is way beyond that. >> this is destruction of civilisation. >> gary. make a point. gary. >> gary. make a point. gary. >> we just had the incident, you know, a year or so ago when a missile fell on a school or a hospital in gaza, and immediately israel was blamed for it. it turned out that it was a missile that had come from hamas forces. we are seeing. >> that was. >> that was. >> to root out terrorists, root out hamas, finish them. >> i think we can agree there�*s a lot of propaganda on one side. just one final question to each of you. do you think that dawn

french has done nothing wrong? >> absolutely not. >> absolutely not. >> okay. and gary, do you think she should apologise for what she�*s done? >> i�*m wondering if an apology >> i'm wondering if an apology is good enough. i really am, of course she should apologise. but i�*m wondering to actually mock the suffering of the families. >> of the soldiers. >> of the soldiers. >> murdered and raped is utterly disgraceful and unacceptable in any form of media. >> okay, but both of you have put very, very strong points there. we're running out of time, unfortunately. thank you both. that's our national jewish assembly, gary monde and journalist and broadcaster fahima mahomed. thank you both very much. very, very strong points indeed. a debate that has obviously caused all in all the papers today and across social media. but the important thing is what do you think? gbnews.com/advent do you agree with gary? the dawn french has is horrendous and she should apologise or for hema the you know, it's hypocritical. she's done nothing wrong. let me know what you think. i'm dawn neesom and this is gb news. there's loads more coming up on today's

absolutely packed show. but first it is time for yes he's first it is time for yes he�*s back. it's the news headlines with sam francis. >> dawn thank you. and a very good afternoon to you. 32 minutes past midday. the top story arrests of illegal migrant workers in the uk have soared by 51% since labour came to power lastjuly, according to new home office figures. more than 6400 people have been arrested, with enforcement teams targeting restaurants, nail bars and construction sites in nearly construction sites. in nearly 9000 raids, almost 30,000 people without the right to remain have also been returned to their home countries. labour says it's ramping up enforcement to tackle illegal working and exploitation. ministers also promised tougher laws and tighter right to work checks as part of a wider border crackdown. well, i�*ll bring you an update on the situation in the united states in just a

hello and welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom peefing weekend with me. dawn neesom peering over my glasses at you all because i need to read what you're saying, and it's very important. lots of you are not very happy with who we had on earlier. talking about dawn french's little clip about what's going on in gaza. angela says, well, for him and know she is twisted. if this is what they think, we don�*t stand a chance. i agree with gary all the way. we have seen videos of what hamas said. it was wicked and patricia says i support israel all the way. the war started because innocent civilians were burned alive, murdered, raped. so fahima the soldiers wouldn�*t so fahima the soldiers wouldn't be in gaza otherwise. lots and nanny bonkers perhaps. name i like that name. actually says shouldn't dawn french be investigated for hurty words? well, it depends on which side the hurty words are, doesn't it? tends to be any case. let's move on, but keep them coming in. gbnews.com/yoursay lots of you are getting in touch now. thousands are expected to march through london today in a major

protest against government spending cuts and welfare reforms organised by the people's assembly. the demonstration marks the first of its kind under a labour government, with trade unions, campaigners and mp5 including jeremy corbyn and diane abbott set to address the crowd. joining me now live from that demonstration is gb news reporter jack carson. jack. hi. good to see you today. now, jack, it's looking quite busy behind you now. bring us up to speed on what's going on. >> well, we're not too far from >> well, we�*re not too far from from where this protest is set to begin. we�*re going to march all the way down to whitehall, where, as you were mentioning there, we are expecting the likes of diane abbott and jeremy corbyn to address these crowds. now, this is an anti—austerity 2.0 protest organised by the people's assembly. now, those of you might remember the back in 2013, the people's assembly was 2013, the people�*s assembly was set up in response to what they felt was a lack of response from ed miliband as labour leader then to the austerity that the conservative government, of

course, was bringing in. now there's plenty of signs around here. let's have a walk around. you can see here one sign saying cut war, not welfare. plenty of different trade unions also being here today, you can see flags from unite the rmt here as well. pcs cw, the national well. pcs, cw, the national education union. this is really interesting to see that. is there a start of a rift almost within the left? because this is quite extraordinary. the first of its kind. you were mentioning dawn, for all of these trade union organisations, for all of these activists to come together against what is a labour government now? they're protesting many different things today. we've seen as well members of the of the striking birmingham workers from unite. we've travelled all the way down, like myself from birmingham today, to come here and be united with other trade unions in their cause, of course, to try and stop the pay cuts that they're facing. in birmingham city council. one of the picket line workers who's here today spoke, i�*ve spoken here today spoke, i've spoken to, has told me how much unite

and support that they feel being here around people who are supportive of their cause. let�*s go a bit further in as well. there's plenty of things like palestine flags as well that are here. stop the war coalition here. stop the war coalition here as well. plenty as well of the revolutionary communist party and students, particularly from cardiff university, have come today, lots of them being able to be transported around from around the country that the people's assembly have been able to organise today. so we�*re all to organise today. so we're all set to march up to whitehall. some of the things protesting is the increase to defence spending that the government have announced. they say that's a big part of securing national security going forward. also, protests here today against the cutting of the winter fuel payment. we know that that is set to be looking like it's set set to be looking like it�*s set to be brought in again later this year, but not necessarily for all pensioners. so a lot of unhappy people here about whom well might miss out on, on that payment as well. representatives here from the likes of the waspi women as well, they've had a bit of a success recently. they are looking at legal action against

against the government, and they found out in the last 24 hours or so that their case is agreeable. and so they're looking like they're able to have a court hearing. so interesting that they're here today, as well as another further walk in. you can see the police. the police liaison officers are here. that�*s they're working with the protest organisers to try and ensure that this all goes smoothly. there is plenty of police presence. we�*ve seen presence. we've seen a territorial support group from the metropolitan police van as well. one sign here saying tax the rich. another sign there saying the same stop the cuts as well. we've got a few people at the front of this protest here saying disabled people against the cuts. that's not charity. of course. one of the things the government has decided to do recently is, of course, changes to the way that pip works and welfare works in this country, that of course, you know, with the government looking, as they say, to fill the kind of black hole that the last previous government left them. but plenty of cuts, as you can see here, are being protested against. and as i was saying, interestingly, that there is such a united

feeling here from a lot of more left leaning organisations, from trade union organisations, from left wing activists, all coming against starmer's government. a lot from the stop the war coalition have signs saying that starmer has blood on his hands over the situation between israel and hamas. obviously in the situation in gaza. so a lot of people unhappy and i'm sure we'll see from the charts as this protest gets underway quite shortly, just how strong of a feeling that that is. >> it�*s quite astonishing, isn�*t >> it's quite astonishing, isn't it, because these are the sort of people you would expect to see protesting against a conservative government. and yet, you know, the unions, they fund the labour government and you've got diane abbott expected to be there, the mother of the house. it's i don't think house. it's i don�*t think i don't remember ever seeing anything quite like it, to be honest with you. >> well, i think there's a lot of feeling here that they feel like they shouldn't have to be like they shouldn�*t have to be out here. these are people that supported the labour party for a long time, supported, as you said, with funding to help them get into government. and there

is a sense that they thought that their kind of policies and their kind of thinkings and ideas would be implemented and that these situation would have to be undertaken, but maybe showing the different style of government that starmer is looking to take as prime minister, ensuring fiscal responsibility. one of the things that the spokesperson for people's assembly has said ahead of this protest is that the fiscal rules are allowing a sense of a public welfare emergency to happen here in this country, and some of the shouting are starting to go on, on now, as this protest shortly looks to get underway to whitehall. thousands of people, as we said, plenty of speeches also coming at the end of it as well. jeremy corbyn, you know, a prominent former former labour leader now, of course, a very prominent independent backbencher. and as you were saying, diane abbott, mother of the house, going against really what is the government that she sits on the back benches of as mother of the house, yet she is coming very out very strongly today to protest some of the

actions of the government that she supports. >> be very interesting to hear what they've got to say. jack carson. thank you very much. jack will be bringing us a live coverage of that throughout the afternoon. be very, very interesting to hear what jeremy corbyn and diane abbott has to say. jack, thank you very much. we'll see you later. okay. now, if you want to escape a bit of all this doom and gloom and marching etc, etc. and you are in search of some holiday sun who isn't? here is a forecast of some of those top european destinations for you. >> i forecast a perfect holiday in the sun. >> weather looking good. >> weather looking good. >> then for sure. and no worries about our travel insurance. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> the heat wave continues across parts of europe. temperatures pushing into the high 30s and this is bringing high 305 and this is bringing some severe thunderstorms in places. but for many areas across spain, portugal, the canary islands largely dry and settled plenty of sunshine. the main risk of thunderstorms is going to be across northern italy, austria, perhaps southern

parts of germany, but elsewhere across the mediterranean. staying dry, lots of hot sunshine and this continues into next week, so feeling very warm indeed. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel. destinations. >> forecast looks a bit better than the flaming june we're having here at the moment, doesn't it? any case, i'm dawn neesom gb news. there�*s loads neesom gb news. there's loads more coming up on today�*s show, more coming up on today's show, a europa league win and then the sack. spurs boss ange postecoglou is out and there may be revolt in the dressing room. could tottenham be facing a player exodus? all of and much more to come. this gb news britain's

gb hello. welcome back i�*m dawn neesom. this is gb news. oh we don't need any instructions. aidan magee with all your support. hello. talk.

>> well look let's talk about ange postecoglou. >> yes, let's. >> yes, let's. >> because just as people were learning his name after two years he's been shown the door now controversial i suppose because it was only two weeks ago that he won one. >> the shiny silver thing that they did. >> one they did. yeah, yeah. so the europa league, that was what, two and a half weeks ago against manchester city. but the problem is they spent they spent most of the premier league season in the bottom half of the league. they couldn't find any consistency. they finished 17th. he said that halfway through the season he realised that his squad with injuries couldn't compete in both the premier league and in europe. 50 next season they�*re probably season they're probably thinking, well, if he thinks about europa league, they�*re going the champions league next yeah going the champions league next year. so all right, the flip side of that is well, surely they�*ll back him. they�*ll sign they'll back him. they'll sign a few players. but look this club is worth around about 3.75 billion. if you believe the owners, like any massive corporate entity, they make changesin corporate entity, they make changes in key leadership positions when they believe that someone else can do better. and look look at man united. last year they won the fa cup. yeah they kept erik ten hag. yeah. but they then admitted by

october. >> they finished up. >> they finished up. >> well to be fair look this is this is how timing is everything. because if you made that decision in in october to get rid of him, it looks okay because you've had a bad start to the season. but at the end of it, given where amorim took them, you probably say, well, you'd be better off keeping him. yeah, so but this whole thing is not going to be cheap for tottenham. it's not like it�*s tottenham. it�*s not like it's a it's not a penny pinching thing because he�*s going to he's because he's going to he's taking a £2 million bonus for winning the europa league. and he's probably going to cost about he's got two years left on his contract. 50 i imagine it's his contract. so i imagine it's probably anything between 5 and £10 million in compensation. there's all this stuff to get rid of. they'll have had bonus incentives as well. they've had incentivised contracts. then if they want to get someone like thomas frank out of brentford, just his contract alone, he's only one of the candidates, but it looks like it could cost about £10 million to get him released from. >> contract from the very top at tottenham. >> yeah without doubt. yeah, yeah, i think, i think the fact that spurs didn't make a statement immediately after the europa league win, i think they made their decision weeks and weeks ago, in fact probably months ago. it's a daft thing to

do though, to announce it in the middle of a in the middle of a trophy parade, for example. you've got to let the let the dust settle just for a little while, just for two, two and a half weeks. and yes, spurs fans, some spurs fans, some of the some spurs fans, some of the some of the ones actually wanted him out a few weeks ago. yeah. suddenly decided that this is a chance to have a go at levy. but i think that when you've lost 22 games in a season, dawn. and let's look at the look at the numbers involved here. >> tell me about it. and west ham fan i know what that feels like. >> you get £7 million for winning the europa league. that's not even a that's about that�*s not even a that's about a squad wage of a squad player at tottenham. at tottenham they had each place in the premier league is worth 2.8 million. now if they finish 17th, which they did, and you would suppose that spurs would normally finish around about sixth or seventh in the league. that's £28 million more that they would have won if they�*d finished where they they'd finished where they normally are placed in the premier league. man united, just by finishing from going from 17th to 15th on the final day, probably earned what tottenham earned in the europa league, so there's money involved as well. the pots look great on a desk,

but and i know they obviously got into the champions league as a result of this. another 60 million on top of this. but look there's a thing called strengthening. while you're strong man united win the treble. they buy ruud van nistelrooy right. >> aiden you were going to throw me with crisp and sexy tennis talk. >> but no there'll be more of that tomorrow. >> but we've run out of time. >> but we�*ve run out of time. you can come back tomorrow. thank you very much. aidan magee. i�*m dawn neesom gb news magee. i'm dawn neesom gb news loads more coming up, including harry and meghan, twerking videos, disney and oh so much more after the weather. we'll see you soon. see you s001]. >> see you soon. >> a positive outlook through the night will power through to a bright day ahead. boxt home battery storage sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. 50 some heavy the met office. so some heavy showers that we've seen through much of this afternoon will gradually start to clear their way eastwards, with some clear spells developing from the west, but it is still going to stay quite breezy as we head overnight tonight. you can see those tightly packed isobars, particularly across the southern half of the uk, and these weather fronts clearing their way eastwards. a5 weather fronts clearing their way eastwards. as we head into the start of sunday, we will

still see 1 or 2 heavy thundery showers across the south and southeast as we head to this evening, but then turning much drier from the west as we head into the early hours of sunday morning. some showers pushing in across parts of northern ireland, maybe western parts of scotland too, and still 1 or ireland, maybe western parts of scotland too, and still1 or2 scotland too, and still 1 or2 showers lingering across the east but turning a little chilly where we see those clear skies. although towns and cities generally holding up into the high single figures. that does mean, though a bit of a brighter start to sunday morning for many of us. plenty of early sunshine around, particularly across northern and eastern parts of scotland. the very far southwest, though, is where we'll start to see those showers pushing in, and particularly across parts of northern ireland. to 1 or2 of these could be heavy in places. northern parts of england seeing plenty of sunshine through the first part of the day, and much of the rest of england and wales seeing plenty of early sunshine through the morning, although perhaps a little cloudier across the very far southwest and western parts of wales, where we start to see those showers coming through. then, as we head towards the afternoon in that afternoon sunshine, we will see some showers bubbling up across much of the country, although these generally lighter and

generally more scattered than what we saw on saturday, although there still could be the odd rumble of thunder and the odd rumble of thunder and the odd rumble of thunder and the odd heavier downpour, particularly across the northern half of the country. feeling a little more pleasant. while we do catch the sunshine on sunday with highs of 1819, perhaps 20 degrees, but it will still be feeling quite blustery, particularly across the west as we go through the afternoon. then through sunday evening. much of the showers across southern and central parts of england. wales gradually push away eastwards, the northern half of the country still seeing plenty of showers to end the day. and that sets us up for quite a changeable start to the week. plenty of showers, some longer spells of rain though perhaps turning a little warmer as we head towards the later part of the week. >> expect a warm front moving from the kitchen right through to the rest of boxt boilers

exploitation. ministers also promised tougher laws and tighter right to work checks as part of a wider border crackdown. president donald trump has cut ties with elon musk and called him a man who has lost his mind. the white house says the president will now sell his red tesla board. just months ago, as tensions between the two were escalating. meanwhile, senior white house officials will meet a chinese delegation here in london on monday for new trade talks. it follows what mr trump called a very positive phone call with president xi on thursday. the health secretary has announced a £450 million boost to the nhs to cut hospital waiting times and end so—called corridor care. wes streeting says the plan includes 40 new treatment centres, up to 15 mental health crisis hubs and nearly 500 more ambulances. the goalis nearly 500 more ambulances. the goal is to fast track care and reduce pressure on a&e departments. ministers say the reforms could mean hundreds of thousands fewer patients face

long waits in emergency departments. kharkiv in ukraine has suffered its most powerful attack of the war so far. overnight, russia launched a deadly barrage of bombs, drones and missiles. at least three people have been killed and 21 injured, with ukraine's president calling it part of a wider assault targeting, he says, civilians and infrastructure. more than 400 drones and 45 missiles were fired across ukraine. kharkiv mayor says over 40 explosions shook the city in just 90 minutes. meanwhile, kyiv and moscow are preparing for a major prisoner swap this weekend, expected to involve around 500 detainees. the fashion giant river island is drawing up a radical rescue plan, with stores and jobs across the uk at risk. the chain, which has 230 shops and employs more than 5000 people, has brought in pwc to oversee a form of formal restructuring amid falling sales and mounting losses. turnover dropped nearly 20% last year,

city break quickly went viral and stunned residents watching it hoof past shops and traffic is still unclear, though, where the bovine escapee came from. but for now, birmingham can breathe easy. those are the latest headlines for now. i�*ll be back with you in half an houn >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com/poll. >> thank you very much. now there are so many jokes i could make about sam's last story and make about sam�*s last story and sam's newsreading, but i'm not going to go there. i�*ve been going to go there. i've been warned that it's not worth it, and sam's pointing at me already. okay, so i better get straight into today's story, shall we? now, official documents have revealed that expressing concerns about mass migration is now classified as a potential terrorist ideology. that's under the government�*s

that�*s under the government's anti—radicalisation programme. prevent an online training course lists a cultural nationalism, the belief that western culture is under threat, as a warning sign that could trigger intervention. this comes despite senior politicians, including the prime minister, having voiced similar concerns about immigration in the past. >> we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. 50 when walks forward together. so when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in lower paid workers rather than investin lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people, or simply one that is sold by politicians to the british people on an entirely false premise, then you're not championing growth. you�*re not championing growth. you�*re not championing justice, or however else people defend the status quo. >> now, in his defence, he a few years ago, he did say that

immigration was our strength and open borders were a good thing. so don't try and report him to prevent, okay? he�*s got a good prevent, okay? he's got a good excuse not to ever changes his mind on anything, obviously. so joining me now is writer and former labour adviser james matthewson and conservative former uk special adviser laura mckevitt. thank you very much for joining mckevitt. thank you very much forjoining me, both of you. now, james, i�*m going to start now, james, i'm going to start with you on this one. okay. if you're worried about immigration, which 41% of the public are, according to the latest poll, that makes you a potential terrorist? >> no, of course it doesn�*t. and >> no, of course it doesn't. and that's not what the guideline for prevent says either. what it's saying is that there are well, it's not it's the other way round really. it�*s that if there are people who are of a terrorist ideology on the far right in our country who are part of this, have this worldview that ties into various conspiracy theories about immigration, about the great replacement theory, which is a common feature in many of these far right circles. and they believe that our country, our culture is under attack, that there's an invasion underway and

that it's orchestrated by some kind of globalist elite who want to replace white people with people of colour. and that's a that's an ideology that's long belonged on the far right. we�*ve seen it exacerbated by social media, of course, in recent years. and unfortunately, people like elon musk, people like tommy robinson, they've furthered this narrative and played into it for their own benefit, of course. so it has benefit, of course. 50 it has exacerbated in recent times. so it's important to see prevent labelling this also as a type of terrorism. and this ideology on the rise when we know prevent has had issues in the past targeting purely people of ethnic diverse backgrounds. ethnic, diverse backgrounds. >> well, we're talking about, i mean, lauren, bringing you on this, we're talking about cultural nationalism here. and no one�*s mentioned skin colour, just cultural nationalism, which if you if you take that to the nth degree, you could pretty much arrest half the people in scotland and wales. >> well, i always find it very interesting that the, the concept of nationalism in england and, and wales and

scotland are two very different signs of what sort of concept. but i think that that is not what the prevent language is designed to, to, to look at. i think james designed to, to, to look at. i thinkjames is correct. the think james is correct. the prevent language thinkjames is correct. the prevent language is very specifically designed to look at the tommy robinson end of the spectrum. i think that the language is probably too broad because it's speaking about a concern, rather than somebody thinking that they're going to, thinking that they�*re going to, you know, take terrorist action to combat some something to do with that. but like i said, i think that this is also language thatis think that this is also language that is probably going to be updated in some way or another by the home office, because i think that it's probably too broad and poorly thought through. >> james, would you agree with that? i mean, when prevent is actually probably one of the worst named government organisations, it doesn't actually prevent much. i mean, it certainly didn't prevent it certainly didn�*t prevent southport, where three little girls lost their lives. do you think it's not actually fit for purpose? >> it's difficult, though, isn't it, because southport isn�*t about particularly, you know, an ideology. there's long been this issue in these attacks, these

general attacks where people fall through the cracks if they're not part of an ideology, like we�*re just looking for an like we're just looking for an ideology, whereas there are people out there who are of a violent nature and of a disturbed mind and whatever else. >> westminster bridge fell through the cracks as well, didn't it? that was another one. >> that's it exactly. but i mean, you know, it doesn't mean that prevent needs to be, you know, you don't need to throw the baby outwith the bathwater, so to speak. i think there are good things in it. as lauren says, i think there needs to be updates to tackle the language if it�*s too vague. but there is huge concern in this country. and listen, i'm not labelling people who have concerns about immigration as racist or far right, but there is a rise in cultural nationalism and ethnic nationalism. you hear more and more if we went on twitter right now with 305. i guarantee you, before we find a tweet that is racist in nature about invasion of the uk by immigrants, about white people being replaced. and it's part of this narrative about white nationalism and about white nationalism and about our, you know, our culture and our, our land being under attack. and that plays into people's fears. and it�*s

people's fears. and it's designed to do so. designed to do 50. >> lauren, word invasion. i mean, you know, people have used that about the number of fighting, age fit young men coming across in the boats. and there's, you know, we're at record numbers now. lots of people use that word invasion. does that mean does that sound racist to you? >> i think that there's a couple >> i think that there�*s a couple of different ways of looking at at the use of the word. i think that if you take a purely sort of optics based view of people landing on beaches in boats, then it's very easy to use a word like that in a, in a, in a pejorative sense, whether or not there's any kind of organisation behind getting that, that obviously i think is not true. i think that whatjames obviously i think is not true. i think that what james was saying think that whatjames was saying about, you know, this ideology, that there's some great, you that there�*s some great, you know, wefe sponsored mechanism or plan to, to, to replace british culture, i think is that's for the birds. but i do think that there's a way of looking at the optics of boats landing on our shores every

weekend and using language like that. and i think that there does need to be a distinction between the two concepts. >> okay. should we move on to something more controversial? black holes. james rachel reeves spending review coming up next week. she is actually announcing that she's going to give even more money to the genuine black hole of the nhs budget. meanwhile, we have reform, on the other hand, saying we can save money by actually cutting back on public service pensions. what do you make of those two? >> two things to separate out. firstly, rachel reeves, this is her last chance. i've had conversations with labour backbenchers. i�*ve had backbenchers. i've had conversations with people who are very close to the frontbench, who are all clear that this is the last stand of rachel reeves. really, she has one last chance to turn the ship around. you know, she's going to get thrown under the bus very easily. it�*ll be her before keir easily. it'll be her before keir starmer put it that way. so of course she needs to stand up and really show that not only does she understand what the labour movement and the labour party wants to see, but she needs to be able to tackle issues because at the moment they've been out.

lifted by reform uk, which is an absolute abomination to see that happening. and they're being, you know, outright whinged and every other sense. so, you know, if you don�*t stand on your if you don't stand on your principles or your values, then you don't stand for anything and nobody knows. james. you. >> james, do you think starmer will throw her under the bus if she messes this one up? >> oh, hesitation. of course he will. like i mean, you know, you have to remember these people look like pals. they look like partnerships. but don�*t forget, you know, tony blair, gordon brown, you know, rishi sunak, sajid javid, like all these people who�*ve come before who people who've come before who are in number 11, next door to number 10, it's all pals until number 10, it�*s all pals until there has to be, you know, responsibility on the book has to stop somewhere. so i think many people are really disappointed with rachel reeves, myself included, and the economic direction of the country. now, if starmer needs an excuse and needs to try and, you know, change tack because it's not been popular, then who's it going to stop with? who�*s it going to stop with? who's the buck going to stop with? >> it'll be interesting. lauren, let's go to the other side of

the political spectrum. what do you make of this? >> i think you have to be able to afford your principles. and i think part of the labour party's problem always has been a struggle to afford the very high principles that they have in many areas. and that's coming to a head with rachel in the, in the treasury being unable to afford the things that the labour party would like to see. and so they've had to make some harsh decisions about welfare, they�*ve had to make some harsh they've had to make some harsh decisions about, you know, the whether or not they�*re going to whether or not they're going to change the two child benefit cap and things like that. and the principles that james would like to see are very expensive principles. and i'm not sure that rachel has reached a stage where she's able to afford them yet. >> okay, james. >> okay, james. >> expensive? undoubtedly so. but they're all so different. and we have to understand that as pluralists i know lauren is the same as me. you know, we want to see difference in our politics. now, look, we didn't you know, we get into politics for the same reason, but we come at it from a different approach in how we fix things. people press the change button at the last general election because

they were sick of the 15 years prior of tory austerity and tory economics. right. if we just continue with tory economics, which is more or less of what we've seen, you know, rachel reeves snuggling up to private business and putting them before the public sector and the welfare state. all of those things do not align with labour values. and look, people pressed the change button. what do you think they voted for labour intentionally or as against the tories? not. it doesn�*t matter. they voted for a labour government and we're not seeing labour economics at the heart of that. >> but rachel reeves is saying that £30 billion will go to the nhs at the expense of other public services. i mean, that sounds very much like a labour thing to do, doesn't it, lauren? >> it does. and i think that, you know, the nhs is a is a black hole of finance. no government has ever been. >> a black hole in congratulations. >> i win the pot. on being able to get the word black hole, and no government has ever been able to finance it adequately for what everybody wants to see from the nhs. we are now basically a

gerontocracy with a health system attached to it. so we do have problems with, for example, the birth rate in this country. we aren't having enough babies to be able to afford the state within the next 40 to 50 years. but i think that, you know, labour economics, the treasury doesn't care if you're left or right wing. it still needs to be able to finance a set number of people and take in an amount of money from a set number of other people, and it has to balance the levels between the two. and nobody, left or right, has managed to find a solution that will keep the treasury brain happy. >> 0h, happy. >> oh, it's all gone a bit bonkers, hasn't it? thank you used to for making some sense of it. james matthewson from labour and lauren mckevitt from conservative. thank you both very much for making sense of politics, which is frankly insane. and it�*s getting more insane. and it's getting more insane. and it's getting more insane by the week, isn't it? however, the home office has said about the prevent issue, prevent is not about restricting debate or free speech, but about protecting those susceptible to radicalisation. like the prime minister who used that language. and i'm not going to say that, am i? we are counting down to your best summer so far, with

£54,321 in tax free cash. rachel reeves can't get our hands on it. it's the biggest cash great british giveaway to date and it could all be yours. here's how you get it. >> it's our biggest cash prize to date, and you can win it. £54,321 in totally tax free cash could make your year the best yet. how would you react if you got that winning call? >> oh my god, i'm going to cry. you know what? i've never won you know what? i�*ve never won anything like this in my life. oh my god. amazing. thank you. >> you weren't expecting to get that call today, were you? >> no i wasn�*t. >> no i wasn�*t. >> £54,321 could make you our biggest cash winner to date. for a chance to win £54,321. cash takes cash to 63 251. entry cost £2.50 plus one standard network rate message or text bonus to 63.255 entries. cost £5 plus one

hello and welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom, thank you so much for your company this saturday. i really appreciate how busy weekends are. now we're going to move on. adhd or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnoses are on the rise, but it�*s the are on the rise, but it's the condition itself actually becoming more common. a new review led by king's college london says not despite growing awareness and a surge in people seeking help, the research found no solid evidence that adhd rates have increased since 2020. so why does it feel like suddenly everybody has it? well, joining me now is psychologist emma kenny to explain what's emma kenny to explain what�*s going on here. emma, thank you so much for joining me this so much forjoining me this afternoon. now obviously we're taking this incredibly serious, but it does feel like every second person you talk to now has this condition.

>> it almost feels a bit like the emperor�*s clothes, where you're told that something isn�*t happening or is happening. but apparently when the evidence comes out, it turns out that your eyes are deceiving you. like with respect, having worked in therapeutic paradigm for 25 years, it has been an incremental shift that is just growing disproportionately to what we would expect in reality. and the reality of it is likely that we're really classifying people with adhd because they meet very small amounts of the parameters that are involved with the classification, because people want to be diagnosed. and that might seem compassionate, but it isn't because i understand why people want to have explanations for maybe some of their unhappiness or behaviours, but it's not necessarily the right way forward. because the irony is, what people will say is, well, having a classification helps me understand my symptoms, but actually very often it helps you retain and remain in those symptoms. and often what you

need to do is apply change to your life as opposed to stagnating because somebody says, well, you fit this paradigm in this way. and i think that kids in particular, i�*m talking about under 25 because they are still young people, they're still developing brains, still developing. they are looking to belong at a time when we've never felt less disconnected, less connected. so finding classifications where you're a group of people who recognise each other, that can be really attractive as a proposition. >> so proposition. >> 50 what are the symptoms that >> so what are the symptoms that you know are part of this diagnosis? >> i mean, the very different. >> i mean, the very different. >> 50 >> i mean, the very different. >> so for example, if you�*re >> so for example, if you're a young boy, what would have been once acknowledged as this kind of neurodevelopmental issue tends to be an inability to sit still, lack of concentration wants to run around the classroom. now, back in the day when i trained, that was just a little boy. it might be a little boy who didn't have the greatest experience sometimes at home, but it was a child who was symptomatic of a bigger issue. and with girls it might be,

well, they're very bright, but they just can�*t concentrate and they just can�*t concentrate and they procrastinate constantly. so basically it's a little bit so basically it�*s a little bit like the autistic spectrum. we used to have very specific paradigm and variables. now if you look at one end to the other end, how we call that the spectrum, when it's totally different symptoms and it's totally different issues, really surprises me. and again, when it comes down to psychiatry, it's a guessing game. people can say what they want, but it's what they want, but it�*s a guessing game because you're literally looking at tick box exercises and interviews. we're exercises and interviews. we�*re not doing brain scans of everyone, and even when we do, we can't find really corroborations within those that would diagnose a specific. when it comes down to things like adhd. i think the bigger question is why are so many people presenting with adhd, not just in childhood now, but in adulthood? why are so many people being medicated for adhd? because where there's profit, there's always concern. and how are we going to answer the

bigger question, which is what the hell has happened in our society that so many people feel the need to be diagnosed and the uniqueness of being human has been dissipated to a point where everybody wants to be a homogenous lump, not the individual that they are destined. >> is there some sort of if there's something going on here thatis there's something going on here that is like, it's cool, it's trendy to have a label to have, almost like, you know, an issue, an ology kind of thing. something wrong with you to explain, you know, so many adults now, i mean, i would say you're just being an idiot, adults now, i mean, i would say you'rejust being an idiot, but. oh, no, no, it's i'm not being an idiot. it is actually disorder. >> well, i think that what we're used to really love. >> about humanity was eccentricity and uniqueness. that was what made people so beautiful. i mean, every human being has got their own fingerprint. mother nature knows how to tell you you�*re how to tell you you're a masterpiece by marking you that way. people should approach the world with that way instead. i think what's happened is the rise of social media. young people feel disconnected. young people feel disconnected. young people feel disconnected. young people feel a level of helplessness and hopelessness. in the uk, there isn't really a sense of general hope and pride.

people aren't allowed to feel proud. for example, they get told off for wanting to believe that actually they have a good country with good people. you know, you're very much diminished if you dare to say those things. so if you go on tiktok and i call it tiktok, andrea, you actually start believing that there are lots of people just like you. and listen, that's fine. the truth is, there are lots of people like you with your idiosyncrasies because we�*re human beings. yes, sometimes we're really lazy. yes, we procrastinate. yes, sometimes we naughty. these are all things that are real. but do we apply drugs to that? or do we apply a different set of mindset opportunities to actually rethink and restructure our lives for the better? that's why i think we're going wrong, and certainly to say it isn't on the rise. i mean, if you look at australia, there's results there where they�*re saying it�*s 4,000% where they're saying its 4,000% more common now. so it isn't just that we�*re getting just that we're getting exceptionally good at diagnosis because the truth is waiting lists the longer than ever. so how are we getting so great at diagnosis. and yet people are

queuing for diagnoses. thatjust queuing for diagnoses. that just doesn't make sense. it�*s doesn't make sense. it's a contradiction in terms. 50 what contradiction in terms. so what we're likely doing is finding quicker ways of diagnosing, using less diagnostically effective techniques and giving people what they want, which is an explanation for why do i feel so unhappy? and actually, what we do know a lot about adhd with is that when you actually get really good treatments, so you go and see a clinical psychologist, for example, you go and have a proper assessment, and then you actually find out there's an underlying condition such as depression or an individual who's bipolar. the actual symptoms of adhd. they go because you've got something solid that can be treated. i fear for our society because i think right now what people are screaming for is make me feel like i'm visible, make me feel like i'm visible, make me feel like i'm visible, make me feel like i belong, and we're failing them on every single level. >> yeah, it does sound like thank you very much. that�*s sarah, a psychologist. emma kenny there on our attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. what do you think about this? it

does seem to be a lot more common now. and when i said that commentjust common now. and when i said that comment just now, common now. and when i said that commentjust now, i didn't mean to sound uncaring. of course i do care. but there is someone in my own family who is basically just can be very irritating. and they actually jokingly termed and said, oh, you know, it's this, i've got this. and it's this, i�*ve got this. and it's like, no, you haven't, you�*re just irritating. and if you're just irritating. and if you�*re the husband and you're watching, you know who i'm talking about. any case, let�*s move on. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news. there's loads more coming up on today�*s show. but first. yes. today's show. but first. yes. gosh, time flies, doesn't it? it is san francis with the news headlines again. >> very good afternoon to you. the top story this lunchtime, arrests of illegal migrant workers in the uk have soared by 51%, according to new home office figures. since the labour government came into power, more than 6400 people have been arrested, with enforcement teams targeting restaurants, nail bars and construction sites. in nearly 9000 raids, almost 30,000

people without the right to remain have also been returned to their home countries. labour says it�*s ramping up enforcement to tackle illegal working and exploitation, with ministers also promising tougher laws and tighter right to work checks as part of a wider border crackdown. president donald trump has cut ties with elon musk and called him a man who has lost his mind. the white house says the president will now sell his red tesla, bought just months ago, as tensions between the two are escalating. meanwhile, senior white house officials will be holding a meeting with chinese delegates in london on monday for new trade talks. it follows what mr trump called a very positive phone call with president xi jinping on thursday. the health secretary has announced a £450 million boost to the national health service. he says it will cut hospital waiting times and corridor care. wes streeting says the plan includes 40 new treatment centres, up to 15 mental health crisis hubs and nearly 500 extra ambulances. the

goalis nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goal is to fast track care and reduce pressure on a&e departments. ministers say the reforms could mean hundreds of thousands fewer patients face long waits and emergency departments, and it wouldn't be a news bulletin without an update on the weather for you. a yellow warning for thunderstorms is in force for much of england and wales today, with the risk of intense downpours, hail and frequent lightning. the met office says some areas could see up office says some areas could see up to 40mm of rain in just a few hours, with strong, gusty winds and potential flash flooding, disruption to travel and power cuts and localised flooding are also all possible, especially across the south and the midlands. it follows news that the uk has just had its warmest spfing the uk has just had its warmest spring on record, and they also say we could be in for a very hot summer. those are the latest headlines for now. i'll be back with a full roundup at the top of the hour. now though, it's over to dawn. >> for the very latest gb news direct your smartphone. sign up to news alerts by scanning the

oh, there you are. i hope you've got a nice couple in front of you. welcome back to the weekend with me, dawn neesom. thank you for your company. now, thousands are expected to march through london today in a major protest against government spending cuts and welfare reforms organised by the people's assembly. the the people�*s assembly. the demonstration marks the first of its kind under a labour government, with trade unionists, campaigners and mp5 including jeremy corbyn and diane abbott set to address the crowd. joining me now live from the demonstration is gb news reporterjack the demonstration is gb news reporter jack carson. jack, good to see you. what's happening to see you. what�*s happening there now? >> well, as you were saying, some prominent mp5 are set to be speaking a little bit later on when we get to whitehall. we're when we get to whitehall. we�*re currently on haymarket. the protest march just stopping here so people at the back can catch up. we've just come off regent street through piccadilly circus, and now we�*re heading towards trafalgar square and then onto whitehall, where there is that stage set up. thousands

of people and so many people from so many different trade unions as well. we've had the national education union here. you can see that big balloon there as well, as well as other activism groups like, like there you can see stand up to racism. more people from the national education union here as well, and also people from the likes of unite as well. we spoke to penny robinson from unite earlier on. she's one of the earlier on. she�*s one of the striking bin workers. they've come here as a show of solidarity and to have that solidarity, they say from the other trade union organisations here. she spoke to us earlier on. take a listen. >> why are they attacking us normal, regular people? why? there's got to be a reason and they can�*t keep hiding behind excuses and lying to people. they've got to stand up, be they�*ve got to stand up, be truthful and tell us what it's really all about and why. they why they�*re actually doing. why they're actually doing. >> this feeling here that a lot of people, they don't feel like

they're being told the truth by this government. it's quite amazing for a labour government, which many of the trade union organisations here will have supported in trying to get into government. and now going in such a strong show of force against the decisions that this government have made. they are here against the likes of changes to disability benefit. we know there have been changes to pip payments. of course, the likes of the winter fuel payments as well, but also concerns from activists here around the nhs. you can see one sign here saying look, end the nhs crisis. clearly activists here do not feel that this current labour government is doing enough to end what they would call the nhs crisis. earlier on we spoke to one of the people that's here against decisions within the nhs by this government. she�*s called gloria. government. she's called gloria. here's what she had to say. >> just belong to the people who work, pay into the nhs was never for sale. the nhs is my inheritance. my parents work and pay taxes, right, i pay taxes,

my parents is dead. that didn't sell so which means that is my inheritance. and if somebody leave your inheritance, they leave your inheritance, they leave your inheritance, they leave your health and then you because you in power something you think you can sell it and that's okay. it's not okay. >> and you can hear there, you know, there's a lot of anger as well. there's plenty of different protest groups. if you come this way with me, you�*ll be come this way with me, you'll be able to see some of the other signs we've got here. so one of signs we�*ve got here. so one of the signs is saying tax the rich. another saying cut war, not welfare. this is a part of the stop the war coalition, part of the protest here today. nurses not nukes. that�*s another nurses not nukes. that's another one. hungry mob is an angry mob. that�*s one of the signs there as well. plenty of palestinian flags around as that causes represented here. unhappy with the way that this current labour government have dealt with the situation in gaza, the situation in the war between israel and hamas as well, that we�*ve seen hamas as well, that we've seen plenty of signs criticising keir

starmer, the prime minister, one saying that he has blood on his hands for the way that he has dealt with the situation over there between israel and hamas and the humanitarian situation in gaza as well. there are thousands of people all here. they�*re all marching to whitehall. as i said, we're going to hear from those speeches from former labour leader jeremy corbyn speeches from former labour leaderjeremy corbyn now, of course, an independent backbencher, but also from diane abbott, mother of the house, still a labour mp. and we know in the past she's not been afraid to be outspoken against the labour party. but interesting now that they are the party of government and she is mother of the house, one of the most noticeable backbenchers within the labour party, and she is speaking today. it will be very interesting to see what she has to say and how critical she might be of this government. does this protest makes the march towards her. >> yet very interesting indeed. jack. jack, do me a favour in between now and the time we talk to you next, can you start asking people who they voted for at the last election? because this these group of people that

you're referring to, they all sound like labour voters. >> well, this is the interesting thing. and this is why maybe this this protest is so poignant, dawn, is that a lot of these people would have worked, maybe volunteered as activists within the labour party to try and get them into government. so interestingly, with them only in government for coming up to about a year now, how quickly the attitudes have changed and how they feel like maybe this government is not going fast enough to make the changes that they want, but also the promises may be made in the pre—election pedod may be made in the pre—election period to actually governing. now we know the labour party will, and the government themselves will have their arguments as to the situation they say they inherited. they talk a lot, don�*t they, about talk a lot, don't they, about the £22 billion black hole. but as this march now continues down towards whitehall, it�*s clear towards whitehall, it's clear that a lot of people who may well and many of them, i would say a majority probably here have voted. labour are so unhappy with the current government policy. >> interesting. let's hope they >> interesting. let�*s hope they kept the receipt. yeah. ask a few of them, jack, and let's get them on on camera seeing what they say. that's @gbnews

reporter jack carson who is live reporterjack carson who is live from the austerity march there going through london at the moment. okay. let me know what you think on that one. gbnews.com/advent very curious to find out about that. now, if you are in search of some holiday sun because it's a bit rubbish here. here's the forecast for some of those top european destinations. >> i forecast a perfect holiday in the sun. >> weather looking good. >> weather looking good. >> then for sure. and no worries about our travel insurance. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> the heat wave continues across parts of europe, temperatures pushing into the high 305 and this is bringing some severe thunderstorms in places. but for many areas across spain, portugal, the canary islands largely dry and settled plenty of sunshine. the main risk of thunderstorms is going to be across northern italy, austria, perhaps southern parts of germany, but elsewhere across the mediterranean. staying dry, lots of hot sunshine and this continues into

next week, so feeling very warm indeed. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news. travel destinations forecast. >> okay, yeah, i just want to quickly read some of your comments out about the debate we were having about the increase in adhd diagnosis. this i think. sorry i lost your name there, but without doubt, adhd is a condition affecting some children genuinely. but the increase in cases not due to medical condition. many parents lead their kids to fend for themselves, allow them to do whatever they want, whenever they want. as parents are fixated on their own interests. a lot of you are agreeing with that sentiment, so do keep those messages coming in at gbnews.com/yoursay and dawn neesom. this is gb news, and there's loads more coming up on today's show, including should we go twerking? the royals mark a major milestone back home with the trooping of the colour next week. meghan markle is set to take centre stage again. she must be horrified at a glittering la gala planned by

her own friend. is she hijacking the spotlight again or that? and much more to come. this is gb news at britain's news channel. don't you dare go

hello. welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom. fancy a bit of twerking? who doesn't? it's a saturday afternoon. why not? susan's been in touch watching meghan markle with her bumpy sack of potatoes shoved up her dress is rather cnnge shoved up her dress is rather cringe worthy. add to that a man devoid of all rhythm. i think you mean harry is. yup, producing stomach churning embarrassment. ouch. gbnews.com/yoursay. if you�*d like to agree or disagree with that, we are talking meghan and harry, of course, and they gave fans a rare peek into family life, sharing images from a disneyland getaway for their daughter lilibet's fourth birthday. but this comes after the couple were criticised for posting yeah, that video of

themselves twerking before the birth of said lilibet. let�*s birth of said lilibet. let's remind ourselves, brace yourself. >> come on, let me see you get gone, baby mamas. this song been pregnant for way too long. i tell the dj, turn it off, turn it off. if she. >> a baby mama, she gon do that baby mama. she gon put it on. she gon do that baby mama. drop drop. >> drop drop drop drop drop drop it down down low drop drop drop drop it down down low. >> oh, sorry. it was easy not to get carried away with it isn't it. joining me now is former royal correspondent of the sun, charles rea, who i'm sure was twerking. you were twerking, charlie, weren't you? >> hello my lovely, i unfortunately you showed that again and my eyes were just recovering after seeing it the first time to be. yeah. i don�*t first time to be. yeah. i don't know what she's doing anymore. honestly, i have now lost the

plot. quite simply, it really is amazing what she's done with that twerking video. >> and that follows on. i mean, that was a few days ago now. and as you say, some people are still bleaching their eyeballs with it. and obviously it's added to all the conspiracy theory about she wasn�*t. i mean, i think to be honest with you, i think she just had wires on her belly, etc, etc. but that's neither here nor there. we don't want to go down that rabbit hole. but after that they then went to disneyland or disney world, one of the two, and posted a van—tam charles, forgive me, wasn't this a couple that did the whole megxit thing because they wanted privacy? >> that's right. you know, first of all, i don't subscribe to any of all, i don't subscribe to any of the conspiracy theories about meghan not really being pregnant or anything else. i mean, it's ridiculous, but we now have a situation where they went to disneyland and i have got no problems with that. taking the family is a special birthday treat, you know, for lilibet, who's a real life princess, and who�*s a real life princess, and she actually met the sort of princess elsa from frozen. but

it was lovely. my, my beef with this is yet again, this is a couple who, you know, want privacy. and we've now got hearts over the pictures of the two children. i mean, these two kids, and i'm describing them as the jigsaw kids because you only ever see an ankle, you know, a bit of a forehead, an arm or whatever. i mean, i think they should at least let the world see the children. i'm not talking about every day or and i know they're not working royals and everything else, but, you know, it's been 4 or 5 years since we've actually seen the children. we saw one picture of lilibet about a few months, maybe a year after she was after she was born. lovely little picture. and i don't think picture. and i don�*t think anybody would have any trouble with it. but you're absolutely right, dawn. you know, this is a couple, you know, who had to get away from the royal family because of the pressure it was they were living in a goldfish bowl. all the publicity. god. what's happened? what's been

happening ever since? they're invading my privacy now, to be perfectly honest. and i just wish they�*d go away. wish they'd go away. >> charles, in their defence, they would say, okay. yeah, okay. we wanted our privacy. so now we are we are sort of like letting you have bits of our life, but it�*s on our terms. life, but it's on our terms. >> yeah, i see that. but i don't want to see twerking videos. you know, i don�*t i don't want to see them continually criticising the royal family. as i've said the royal family. as i�*ve said to you on many occasions, don, i�*ve got no problem whatsoever with them making money and how they want and how they want to make money. it's up to them. i mean, i don't watch her podcasts deliberately because i don't want to know about her £10 pots of jam in £22 pots of honey. you know, it's ridiculous to me that she's she's doing this, but she�*s she�*s doing this, but funnyif she�*s she�*s doing this, but funny if she's making money out of it. god bless her. i'm quite happy with it. but really, you know, do we know we, you know, after the privacy scenario and

their continual, you know, slagging off of the british press and everything else because they keep on invading their privacy? well, there they are. as i say, they are now invading our privacy. >> charles, just very, very quickly, she's set to attend an quickly, she�*s set to attend an la gala on the day of the trooping of the colour. her timing is immaculate. >> well, it's irrelevant, don, >> well, it�*s irrelevant, don, to be perfectly honest, completely irrelevant. it's completely irrelevant. it�*s never going to compete with trooping the colour. it's going trooping the colour. it�*s going to be, you know, trooping the colour is going to be during the day. this event in los angeles, which she's getting an award. i mean, i cannot believe she's getting an award. well, no, no, that, that that would be the end. i tell you now, dawn, if she gets an award for twerking, i will give up this job completely. you know, it's you completely. you know, it�*s, you know, she�*s been giving award to know, she's been giving award to recognise for her work in to advance community well—being and expand opportunity for those who are less deserving. well, yeah. yeah, we�*re going to do that with a very, very expensive,

glitzy los angeles night black tie event in which lots of drink will be taken, lots of food will be eaten, and will it will the will the well—deserved people get a bit of it? i'm not so sure. >> probably raising awareness of poverty. charles rae always a joy poverty. charles rae always a joy to talk to you. thank you so much indeed for joining us. much indeed forjoining us. right, okay, after the break, we have got musk and trump and that bromance. would it ever work? but all that after the weather. we'll see you soon. >> heavy showers first thing will be followed by a warm, cosy day. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. 50 some heavy the met office. so some heavy showers that we've seen through much of this afternoon will gradually start to clear their way eastwards, with some clear spells developing from the west, but it is still going to stay quite breezy as we head overnight tonight. you can see those tightly packed isobars, particularly across the southern half of the uk, and these weather fronts clearing their way eastwards. as we head into

the start of sunday, we will still see 1 or 2 heavy thundery showers across the south and southeast as we head to this evening, but then turning much drier from the west as we head into the early hours of sunday morning. some showers pushing in across parts of northern ireland, maybe western parts of scotland too, and still 1 or ireland, maybe western parts of scotland too, and still1 or2 scotland too, and still 1 or2 showers lingering across the east but turning a little chilly where we see those clear skies. although towns and cities generally holding up into the high single figures, that does mean, though a bit of a brighter start to sunday morning for many of us. plenty of early sunshine around, particularly across northern and eastern parts of scotland. the very far southwest, though, is where we'll start to see those showers pushing in, and particularly across parts of northern ireland. to 1 or2 of these could be heavy in places. northern parts of england seeing plenty of sunshine through the first part of the day, and much of the rest of england and wales seeing plenty of early sunshine through the morning, although perhaps a little cloudier across the very far southwest and western parts of wales, where we start to see those showers coming through. then, as we head towards the afternoon in the afternoon sunshine, we will see some showers bubbling up across

much of the country, although these generally lighter and generally more scattered than what we saw on saturday, although there still could be the odd rumble of thunder and the odd rumble of thunder and the odd rumble of thunder and the odd heavier downpour, particularly across the northern half of the country. feeling a little more pleasant. while we do catch the sunshine on sunday with highs of 1819, perhaps 20 degrees, but it will still be feeling quite blustery, particularly across the west as we go through the afternoon. then through sunday evening. much of the showers across southern and central parts of england. wales gradually push away eastwards, the northern half of the country still seeing plenty of showers to end the day. and that sets us up for quite a changeable start to the week. plenty of showers, some longer spells of rain though perhaps turning a little warmer as we head towards the later part of the week. >> there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm boxt heat pumps

>> dawn, thank you. and a very good afternoon to you just after 2:00, the top story today, arrests of illegal migrant workers in the uk have soared by 51% since labour came to power lastjuly, according to new home office figures. more than 6400 people have been arrested, with enforcement teams targeting restaurants, nail bars and construction sites in nearly 9000 raids, almost 30,000 people without the right to remain have also been returned to their home countries. labour says it's ramping up enforcement to tackle illegal working and exploitation, and ministers are also promising tougher laws to tighten right to work checks as part of a wider border crackdown. president trump has cut ties with elon musk, calling him a man who has lost his mind. the white house says the president will now sell his red tesla, bought just months ago, tesla, boughtjust months ago, as tensions between the two have escalated. meanwhile, senior

white house officials are set to meet a chinese delegation here in london on monday for new trade talks. it follows what mr trump called a very positive phone call with president xi jinping on thursday, the health secretary has announced a £450 million boost to the nhs. he says it will cut hospital waiting times and end so—called corridor care. wes streeting says the plan includes 40 new treatment centres, up to 15 mental health crisis hubs and nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goalis nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goal is to fast track care and reduce pressure on a&e departments. ministers say the reforms could mean hundreds of thousands fewer patients facing longer waits in emergency departments in ukraine. kharkiv has suffered its most powerful attack of the war so far, with russia launching a deadly barrage of bombs, drones and missiles overnight. we now know at least three people have died and 21 were injured in ukraine's president, calling it the largest attack part of the

assault from russia targeting civilians and infrastructure. more than 400 drones and 45 missiles were fired across ukraine, including strikes on the capital, kharkiv mayor says over 40 explosions shook the city in just 90 minutes overnight. meanwhile, kyiv and moscow are preparing this weekend for a major prisoner swap expected to involve 500 detainees. back here at home, river island is drawing up a radical rescue plan, with stores and jobs now at risk across much of the uk's high streets. the fashion chain, which has 230 shops and employs 5500 employees, rather 5500 people, has brought in pwc to oversee a formal restructuring amid falling sales and mounting losses. turnover dropped nearly 20% last year, with the company posting a £33 million loss. and a yellow warning for thunderstorms is in force across much of england and wales today.

there is a risk of intense downpours, hail and frequent lightning. the met office says some areas could see up to 40mm of rain and expect disruption to travel and power cuts, especially if you're in the south or the midlands. it follows news, though, that the uk has just seen its warmest spfing uk has just seen its warmest spring on record, and good news that forecasters are warning of a hotter than usual summer could be on the way. those are the latest headlines for now. i�*ll be back with you in half an houn be back with you in half an hour. now, though, let's get straight back to dawn. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com/poll. >> thank you very much, sam. now you heard the man. the weather is rubbish out there, so stay indoors in front of your telly because i want your company. basically, lots of you have been

getting in touch about harry and meghan by the way. verum says i want privacy. how dare you not look at me. i'll post some pics and videos that will teach you not to invade my privacy. tongue in cheek there, i think. and wendy says the difference between me, meghan and princess catherine. pure class. yeah, and i think you might not be referring to meghan in that one. so do keep them coming in. oh, that one's a bit mean. can't that one�*s a bit mean. can't read that one out, but tempting. do keep them coming in. gbnews.com/yoursay joining the conversation now. the other big story of the day is in all your papers and you can�*t avoid it. papers and you can't avoid it. on social media, official documents have revealed that expressing concerns about mass migration is now classed as a potential terrorist ideology under the government's under the government�*s anti—radicalisation programme. prevent, an online training course lists a cultural nationalism, the belief that western culture is under threat, basically as a warning sign that could trigger intervention. this comes despite senior politicians, including the prime minister, having voiced similar

concerns about immigration in the past. have a listen. >> we risked becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. 50 when walks forward together. so when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in lower paid workers rather than investin lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people, or simply one that is sold by politicians to the british people on an entirely false premise, then you're not championing growth. you�*re not championing growth. you�*re not championing justice or whoever else. people defend the status quo. >> well, i mean, i'm just on the phone to prevent right now. i mean, that's literally enoch mean, that�*s literally enoch powell, isn't it? okay. i�*m powell, isn't it? okay. i'm joking, by the way. joining me now is political commentator benedict spence. benedict, good to see you. thank you. thank you genuinely. thank you so much for coming in to see me this afternoon. what do you make of all this prevent? if you're all this prevent? if you�*re worried about immigration, you're literally a terrorist. >> well, it's nice to see you,

too. and this might be the last time, because any one of us could be in prison by the end of the day. they�*re on the way. and good afternoon to the audience at home. they'll be knocking on your doors as well, i suspect, for listening to us. honestly, the fact, the very fact that the fact, the vew fact that this is 50|t of come to light in this is sort of come to light in the aftermath of a labour prime minister standing up and saying, quys: minister standing up and saying, guys, maybe this whole mass migration thing wasn�*t the best migration thing wasn't the best idea, and maybe people have a point when they're concerned about it. i mean, that's sort of i think shows you the disconnect at the heart of our state, which is that you have different sort of strands of authorities pulling off in different directions. the head doesn't know what the arms are doing. and i would also say that this is a sign that prevent, broadly speaking, is being run by people who don�*t necessarily know what who don't necessarily know what it is that they�*re talking medemmmw about it is that they're talking about. now, there is an element to this that is useful, which is that sometimes if you start talking about certain aspects of migration, it can have a tendency to go towards areas like identity. what is it to be? british? and we have seen increasingly in the last couple of years, a conversation about ethnonationalism in this country that perhaps many of us thought

wasn't really a problem anymore, wasn't really a problem anymore, wasn't really a problem anymore, wasn't really part of the conversation, but it has arisen, and that is obviously a cause for concern, especially when you're talking about young children. but to just go calte children. but to just go carte blanche and say if a child or an adult even sort of begins to talk about these things, that's problematic. i mean, what is that that's stifling fairly broad speech, fairly mainstream opinions. and i don't think he even opinions. and i don't think he ever, ever has the desired effect, which is to stamp down on actual extremism. it just makes the ordinary members of the public think, they don't want me to talk about this. i wonder why. >> a lot of people are getting in touch saying some of the things i mean. the shawcross review in 2023, i think it was said that that prevent did have a double standard when it came to islamists and the extreme right, and we do know that most of their cases are, if they're honest about islam, extreme islam rather than the right wing. so why are we making such a big deal about, oh, if you�*re worried about migration, you're a bit dodgy. >> why do we make such a big deal about it? is the idea that islam and islamism is part of

the minority, and therefore it needs special protections and different carve outs, because it's easier for a minority to be oppressed. there are good reasons why that was the case, but obviously when it's taken to but obviously when it�*s taken to its logical conclusion, that means that things are swept under the rug and ignored. that shouldn't be. and actually, if you want to be part of a multicultural society, whatever that's meant to mean, that is meant to be, everybody has equal stakes in that society and are treated equally. not everybody has special privileges, because, of course, then you get the next logical conclusion, which is that people stop talking about minorities to get their way. they start talking about this new thing that they're trying to push on us, which is global majority. and, you know, then it becomes less about, oh, you need to make exceptions for people. it's no, you need to listen to what these minorities say, because actually there's more of you, more of them than there are of you. but and also just on the subject of islamism, it�*s because, again, a lot of the people who talk about problematic ideas, race relations, community tensions, that sort of thing, they don't really know very much about islamism. they don�*t really know islamism. they don't really know very much about islam, you know, just the mainstream religion. and they'd rather not ask

questions. >> so if basically what we're saying is prevent is, is trying to be politically correct extent. yeah. which is dangerous because prevent messed up three times with the i'm not going to say his name, but that piece of filth that took the lives of those three little girls in southport. so it�*s, you know, southport. 50 it�*s, you know, you can be politically correct yet wonderful, but it's dangerous. >> certainly when we take it to the extremes that we do in this country, i think, look, it�*s country, i think, look, it's a very british trait actually, to want to be polite and not to be unnecessarily offensive. you know, just as much as we sort of value the idea of being able to speak your mind, there are also sort of unspoken rules about that, which is that, okay, but you don't do that deliberately for no reason at all. what things like prevent do is they sort of jump in and they go, and sort ofjump in and they go, and we're going to make sure nobody says anything that we don't particularly like. we're not going to allow you to make that judgement by yourself. we�*re effectively going to mandate for this on your behalf. that i think is also quite un—british, and it's what rubs people up the wrong way. i think most people would broadly look at some of the things that prevent, say, are problematic, like ethnonationalism and go, yes, i

agree with that. but then turn around and go, but there is the double standard. why is it not okay for them? but it's okay for other people to walk down the mall chanting about, you know, pushing the israelis into the sea, that sort. >> of thing. two tier care. i mean, if we're talking about cultural nationalism, there's nothing to do with skin colour or anything like that. but cultural nationalism, why haven't they arrested half of scotland? >> i mean, cultural nationalism. what are we talking about? you know, the idea of western civilisation being a bad thing, the reason why we have lots of ethnic minorities communities coming to this country is because they recognise actually western civilisation is quite a good thing. they want a part of that, or at least they certainly that, or at least they ce|tainly used to. and this is one of the things that really bugs me about sort of older generations of 50|t of older generations of migrants who came to this country fully buying into the idea of being british, not getting rid of their identities entirely. but they said, that�*s entirely. but they said, that's what i want, that's a better life. and now we're told by sort life. and now we�*re told by sort of upper middle class, largely white people, oh, that culture that those people came from? no, that's a bad culture. you can't have that. and we have to accept getting rid of it and levelling it for everyone else�*s culture. it for everyone else's culture. >> it�*s absolutely mad. i was >> it's absolutely mad. i was going to ask you about rachel

reeves and her spending for next week, but i mean, no one believes any of it in any case. >> so you just shrug and just. >> so you just shrug and just. >> go. >> go. >> well, what. >> well, what. >> are they like? whatevs, right? but so i know there's one other subject that's in front of your papers. and again, all over social media, dawn french and her video about the political situation in gaza and israel. >> i mean, it�*s so very poor >> i mean, it's so very poor taste of nothing else. i'm going to just try and be polite and not sort of say everything i could say about her incredibly poor taste, very poor judgement. how it is that you can think just because you are a celebrity, you are a well—known person, that you can just go up to a camera and lay out the well, you know, the actual well documented hurt and upset of israeli people who knew people who went through the experience on october the 7th and just go, no, your opinion doesn't matter. no, i mean, how belittling. >> is a bad thing. >> is a bad thing. >> yeah. it's so belittling. it's so it�*s not taking the it's so it's not taking the events seriously. it's not taking the rest of the war in gaza seriously. and i think it's a very classic example of a liberal celebrity in the uk thinking that their essence, their being, is enough to be persuasive. and i think if anything, it�*s less likely to anything, it's less likely to make you identify with that. cause. i would have. >> thought, isn't it? what was >> thought, isn�*t it? what was it ricky gervais infamously said

at the golden globe awards that like, you know, you�*re like, you know, you're a celebrity. no one cares what you think. just come up here, take your gong and shut up. don�*t your gong and shut up. don't give us lectures because. >> you�*re thank you, god, and go. >> you�*re not living in the real world. do you think she should apologise? >> i don't think she should apologise. because i don't think everything requires an apology. ijust everything requires an apology. i just think. think twice before you do it. next time, take the lesson of everybody dunking on you.you lesson of everybody dunking on you. you don't have to grovel on the ground and go. oh, i�*m so sorry. especially if you don't sorry. especially if you don�*t mean it. just learn the lesson. don't do it again. and other people learn the lesson. i don't like it when we force people to apologise, but equally intelligent life is supposed to learn from its mistakes. >> indeed. well, good luck with that one. benedict spence, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. now on the prevent story. the home office has said prevent is not about restricting debate or free speech, but about protecting those susceptible to radicalisation. yeah, for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and more, please do go to our website, which is gb news. okay, now let's go to the other side of the pond where politics is still equally insane. it's lovely, isn't it? insane. it�*s lovely, isn't it? tech billionaire elon musk and us president donald trump have publicly clashed, very public,

in what�*s been described as an epic fallout, with tensions spilling over both online and in the white house. musk took to x, calling for the president's impeachment. you can see there and, well, i mean, it's just and, well, i mean, it'sjust kicking off, isn't it? i mean, kicking off, isn�*t it? i mean, it's a spectacular fallout following the public feud, tesla's share price tumbled more than 15%, marking one of its steepest declines this year. joining me now is us political analyst eric hamm, who's going to make sense of this. all for eric i've seen you for ages. lovely to talk to you eric. make sense of your politics. >> yeah. you know, as someone said jokingly, the girls are fighting and it is an epic catfight that we're seeing play out. but now this is having, i think, tremendous implications for policy, for politics and of course, for the markets themselves. as you just mentioned, tesla's stock has plummeted. and so, of course, shareholders are worried and concerned about what's happening. donald trump is threatening additional

government. correne elon musk is threatening to pull his his space craft off us missions. and so what we�*re seeing here is so what we're seeing here is everyone should have known that this eventually was going to happen. but of course, not many expected that it would be elon musk who would throw the first, second and third even blow. >> and how is it playing out over there? i mean, over here we're looking at like it�*s like we're looking at like it's like little kids or sort of like, you know, a slapping fight in, in the school playground. i mean, what the american public making of this. >> exactly the same thing. look, we know these are two men who love the attention. they�*re both mercurial, they're both combustible. they�*re both, you know, enormously influential, wealthy, powerful. and they both have very, very long histories of historic and record feuds with other people. and so to see them now fighting each other, it's no surprise. and you're

right, donald trump, a former reality television star who for decades courted the tabloid media in new york city and has oftentimes run his presidency in much the same way. so oftentimes run his presidency in much the same way. 50 looking at much the same way. so looking at him fighting elon musk right now, it's no surprise. and it's now, it�*s no surprise. and it's but again, it's donald trump, it's elon musk. and i do believe that given the fact that donald trump�*s signature legislation, the build back better bill, is now on the line as a result of this fight, it�*s anyone's guess this fight, it's anyone's guess what happens. but irrespective of this, we know that donald trump needs a legislative victory. and right now it's looking like that victory is miles and miles away. >> yeah, eric, just finally obviously elon musk has also dropped on his social media platform x the epstein files. he's hinted that there is a time to drop the really big bomb. that�*s what elon musk has said. what's what's going on there? >> well, yes, he's suggesting that donald trump is part of the epstein files. but again, it

begs the question, if you knew all of this about donald trump, why would you support his candidacy? why have you been supporting his presidency? and now it seems like we're seeing a u—turn from elon musk, which suggests that there is just buyefs suggests that there is just buyer's remorse to all of this. and i think it's making it that much more difficult for americans and anyone else to feign credibility when you're feign credibility when you�*re watching this fight play out. >> yeah. do you think they will ever kiss and make up, eric? >> oh, it's anyone�*s guess. when >> oh, it's anyone's guess. when you have men whose ego and pride are on the line, it's very, very difficult to say what exactly will happen. >> yeah, because, i mean, the thing is, what's happening over there will have effects around there will have effects around the world globally, certainly with the financial markets. >> certainly. and of course, we know that elon musk, very influential and powerful starlink communications, which he has used oftentimes to the detriment of the ongoing war in ukraine. and it's anyone's guess how that will be used. and we know that the trump administration was hoping that it would perhaps be a part of

>> yeah, good luck indeed. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news. lots more coming up on today's show including playing snog, marry, avoid at work may mean you're a sex pest. okay, but next we want to know whether powerful men like musk and trump. we've just been talking trump. we�*ve just been talking about them. can be friends. we'll ask a psychologist. is there always a need for one alpha male to dominate? sounds interesting, doesn�*t it? or much interesting, doesn't it? or much more to come. this is gb news britain's news channel. and i'm now going to be a sex pest with benedict. here he is still. we'll see you

hello. welcome back to the weekend with me. i'll tell you weekend with me. i�*ll tell you what. this snog marry avoid game. it is good fun. it's a shame they're trying to ban it because of sex. but, you know, everyone's getting upset by it now. but it�*s good fun. you can

play it at home because i�*m sure you won�*t be accused of being a sex pest at home, but who knows? any case, let�*s move on. it was all smiles until last week, wasn't it? the trump musk bromance went from a powerful alliance to a full blown feud in just ten days. so it's got us just ten days. so it�*s got us wondering, can powerful men. let's face it, you don't get much more powerful than these two. can they actually stay friends? or does ego always have to get in the way? joining me now to discuss is broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford. lucy, two of the most powerful, influential and not to mention loaded men in the world. can there ever be a real friendship? >> well, there could be. and i think we did see that at times, particularly on the campaign trail, elon musk was providing something that trump wanted, and trump was providing something that elon wanted. they're very that elon wanted. they�*re very similar creatures. they both grew up with very, very domineering fathers. they have both eclipsed their fathers in that very classic freudian sense

of triumphing over your father as an adult. and therefore i think they recognise each other's narcissistic wounds. i think they can understand why each other has become a self—made man. but there is only ever room for one alpha male in the jungle. >> well, this is what i'm thinking. >> it's the alpha male thing, isn�*t there? there's only one for room for one sort of lion in charge. >> yes, and with many male friendships, it's very transactional. and i don't mean thatin transactional. and i don't mean that in a calculated way. i don't think men go into the cricket changing room and think, oh, how can i win this situation? but it's often very situation? but it�*s often very much about having the great one liner, having the great anecdote, having something that can trump someone else's story, or actually just having someone to do something with. and there's nothing really wrong with that. it�*s amazing to have someone that you go to, to the football match with, or to go shopping or on holiday with. it's just that men and women do their friendships differently, and that�*s because what they get out of those friendships, the things that release those feel good hormones, are very different. 50 if you can imagine

different. so if you can imagine the image of two monkeys, a sort of female monkey, stroking the fur of another female monkey, or of a baby monkey, that's in a way, the visual representation of what happens psychologically for women. we�*re very nurturing in our friendships. we're very in our friendships. we�*re very supportive. we even tell our friends that they look great in something, even when they don't, or that they're doing the right thing. but by and large, you�*ll say you did a great presentation. you look amazing in that. i am so proud of you because that makes us feel good as much as it makes the other person feel good. for men, it's about going out hunting that sabre toothed tiger and being the one that comes back with the prize. and there can't be two of you with that. >> okay, so now what we were talking to, eric came over in america just now about the relationship between trump and musk and the fact that most people could see it coming because at some point there was going to have to be this explosion. i mean, who do you think is going to be a winner out of this? >> well, the interesting thing about that bromance was that everybody did think it would implode. and that's because somebody like trump, for

example, really needs to have enemies. he really needs to have people that he fights against. and even if he brings you on side, which is kind of what people think he's trying to do with vladimir putin, what he deep down wants is to be able to reject you again. so this is that classic father wound. i want to have you so that i can kill you. and that's what trump will be doing. and unfortunately for elon musk, you can be the richest person on the planet, but you haven't got the same power, and therefore you haven�*t power, and therefore you haven't got the same psychological potency that someone like trump has. 50 the winner will always be trump all the while that he's in office. obviously, some of the things that elon musk is saying might shorten that, i don't know. but in terms of the ramifications of some of what elon musk is saying, that could really wound. >> that's fascinating. i hadn�*t. >> that's fascinating. i hadn't. >> that's fascinating. i hadn't. >> obviously i hadn't thought about that. that�*s why you�*re about that. that's why you�*re you're the psychotherapist and i�*m not. so what was musk getting out of this relationship? >> visibility, a sense that he mattered. because this, again, is someone who really needs to be seen. it doesn't really matter that you've got all that wealth. someone who accumulates

that wealth isn't doing it for the zeros in their bank account. they�*re doing it for what it makes them feel better person. i�*m an amazing person because i�*m an amazing person because i�*m worth this much. my car is this big, and again, that will be about triumphing over the father. so it�*s about i�*ve got father. so it's about i've got all this money and i can fund someone's electoral campaign, but that makes me that puts me on a higher footing to where i was before. so they both got something out of it, and they're both now getting quite a lot of visibility out of it. it's just only one of them can win. >> are you. >> are you. >> surprised at how childish it's got? >> oh no. no, because we are all basically in a children are id are unruly, id will always be ruling and particularly when it comes to quite powerful emotions, the unruly id kicks in really automatically. it kind of circumvents the prefrontal cortex, which is like the ceo, executive functioning part of the brain. everything else is about. which is why if somebody wounds you, if it's if you've had heartbreak or you've fallen out with a friend or there�*s out with a friend or there's something happening in the

office, in the workplace, it's going to make you regress and behave quite childishly, unfortunately. >> interesting. well, that's my >> interesting. well, that�*s my excuse, and i�*m sticking to it. excuse, and i'm sticking to it. just quickly, lucy, will they get back together with the kissing? >> funnily enough, i think they will. but i think they'll then have an absolutely explosive fallout. and it�*ll never it'll never repair itself. but they�*re so transactional that i could almost see them getting back temporarily. it's like one of those, you know, elizabeth burton and richard. no. richard. elizabeth taylor and richard burton marriages. they'll keep going until they expire. >> wow. interesting stuff that lucy barrows, thank you very much. that's broadcaster and lucy barrows. interesting stuff. what do you think? gbnews.com/yoursay, i am dawn neesom. this is gb news. and there's loads more coming up on today's show, which is going very, very fast. but first we have to do yet more news headlines. and it is indeed san francis. >> very good afternoon to you. the top story, just after 2:30

arrests of illegal migrants in the uk, have soared by 51% since labour came into power last july, according to new home office figures. more than 6400 people have been arrested, with enforcement teams targeting restaurants, nail bars and construction sites in nearly construction sites. in nearly 9000 raids, almost 30,000 people without the right to remain have also been returned to their home countries. labour says it's ramping up enforcement to tackle illegal working and exploitation, and ministers are also promising tougher fights to tackle work checks. right to work as part of a wider border crackdown. president donald trump has cut ties with elon musk, calling him a man who has lost his mind. the white house says the president will now sell his red tesla, boughtjust his red tesla, bought just months ago, as tensions between the two are escalating. meanwhile, senior white house officials are set to meet a chinese delegation here in london on monday for new trade talks. it follows what mr trump has called a very positive phone call with president xi jinping

on thursday. the health secretary has announced a £450 million boost to the national health service. he says it will cut hospital waiting times and end so—called corridor care. wes streeting says the plan includes 40 new treatment centres and nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goalis nearly 500 extra ambulances. the goal is to fast track care and reduce pressure on a&e departments. ministers say the reforms could mean hundreds of thousands fewer patients facing long waits in emergency departments, and a yellow warning for thunderstorms is in force across much of england and wales today, with the risk of intense downpours, hail and frequent lightning. the met office says some areas could see up office says some areas could see up to 40mm of rain in just a few hours. disruption to travel and power cuts with localised flooding. flooding are also possible, especially across the south and the midlands. it follows news that the uk has just seen its warmest spring on record, and forecasters warn a hotter than usual summer may be

on the way. those are the latest headlines for now. i'll be back with you in half an hour. >> for the very latest gb news, direct your smartphone. sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com/poll. >> thank you very much, sam. just a quick update on the dawn french story for you. she has posted an apology on social media saying, i posted a video in the style i've been using for social media. in an effort to convey an important point, i clumsily used a mocking tone. my intention was never to mock or dismiss or diminish diminish the horror of what happened on the 7th of october and what continues to unfold from that brutal, unthinkable, unforgivable savage attack. she goes on for a few more paragraphs on that, but she has issued an apology on social media. okay, so any case, as i keep saying all the way through

this, this show is nothing without you and your views, and i will read as many out as i possibly can. so keep them coming in. gbnews.com/yoursay and join in the conversation. there's loads more coming up on today�*s show. we�*re running out today�*s show. we're running out of time together though. should politics decide your dinner? a london steakhouse asked a customer to leave after staff said they were uncomfortable serving him. so should serving him. 50 should restaurants be able to refuse service based on someone's beliefs? all that and much more to come. i�*m dawn neesom. this is gb news, britain�*s news is gb news, britain's news channel. don't you dare go go too far. see you 50011. see you soon. thanks.

hello and welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom, thank you very much for your company this saturday afternoon. really enjoying your company. lots of you have been getting in touch about our the whole trump

musk bromance situation. we�*re just debating it. and nicolas says they will kiss and make up and release a new fragrance together called trump musk. see what you did there? and lots of you are suggesting that maybe this is all. yeah, wendy says, i honestly think this spat between musk and trump is fake so musk can revive his business losses. it's just very sus to be to be real to me. interesting. and robert says, dawn, we have two rich men that are power mad that use blackmail to get their way, don't agree with them and they don�*t agree with them and they try to hit your pocket. we are heading that way in the uk. well, i was talking to eric hamm earlier on and the one thing i think about this week, i don't know about you out there, is that politics in this country are absolutely mad at the moment. i mean, someone said to me earlier on, it's like, you know, you get the politicians you deserve and it's like, what did i do so wrong in a previous life? i mean, as i said, i don't know about you slot, but it is incredibly complicated at the moment. and if you've got a chance re camilla tominey is a brilliant piece in the telegraph.

and she says our politicians are the least serious in history, and camilla knows her politics. and that includes you, nigel. so let me know what you think about that. gbnews.com/win your say, and i'm going to read out as many as your comments as i possibly can. the earlier debate on we had with fahima on talking about the dawn french thing, and william says, i don't hear much criticism of hamas hiding behind women and children, and it�*s women and children, and it's their own mothers and sisters and children. anyway, keith, keep those views coming in gbnews.com/yoursay now, the other main story that�*s going other main story that's going huge on social media and many of you are getting involved, is tommy robinson was asked to leave a central london steakhouse after staff said they felt uncomfortable serving him. footage shows robinson dining at the hawksmoor on regent street with the group. before the manager approached midmill. he was handed the ceo�*s business was handed the ceo's business card and advised to get in touch via email. the group was also

told not to worry about the drinks the restaurant would cover the cost. one of robinson's companions filmed the exchange. so let's have a look what happened? >> was that the members of staff uncomfortable service. is it because of the colour of my skin? no. no no. is it because of the colour of my skin? members of staff. we like to look after our people. as i'm sure you can understand, our ceo will said. if you�*ve got any questions about that, you need to email him directly. his email address is there. don't worry address is there. don�*t worry about this first round of drinks. it's on me, but i'm very sorry. i hope it�*s not sorry. i hope it's not inconvenient. should we worry about the coco gauff. >> right now? okay, regardless of what you think of the rights and wrongs of tommy robinson's views, the group were dining perfectly. normally they weren't drunk. there was no bad behaviour. they weren't being obnoxious. they were having a quiet meal in a restaurant. so we�*re asking, should staff he we're asking, should staff he allowed to refuse service based on what appears to be political beliefs? there's no other reason

that i personally can think, having watched the footage for this group of men dining this group of men, dining quietly, minding their own business to be asked to leave. joining me now is political commentator andy williams. andy, what do you make of this story? >> well. >> well. >> firstly, i think tommy. >> firstly, i think tommy. >> robinson is a poisonous, loathsome individual. i think. >> he represents. >> he represents. >> absolutely the. >> absolutely the. >> worst of britain. he is a vile conspiracy theorist. he has said over decades countless racist things. he has called muslim babies time bombs. he has said the uk is sleepwalking towards a muslim takeover. he is the man who, as leader of the english defence league, presided over marches where people chanted using the p word if you all hate p words, clap your hands. so i think that's really important context because i. >> get you're not a fan. >> get you're not a fan. >> lots, lots of people do support tommy robinson�*s views and each to their own. we live in a free country. it's a democracy. people are entitled to their views. but this is a group of men dying quietly in a

restaurant. why should they be asked to leave? >> dawn, sorry, we have to call this out for what it is. this is not about political beliefs. this is not about whether you�*re labour or tory or whether you back reform. this is about somebody who has a an extensive track record of racist behaviour. he is a disgusting individual when it comes to hawksmoor's decision. i find it hawksmoor�*s decision. i find it genuinely amusing that people on the right who spend most of their time banging on about freedom of speech and freedom of expression when a private business exercises, its right to refuse someone�*s custom, they�*re refuse someone�*s custom, they're up refuse someone�*s custom, they're up in arms. it is a private business, and private businesses can say, sorry, i do not want you to dine in my restaurant. and good on hawksmoor for taking a stand. >> okay, so. >> okay, 50. >> okay, 50. >> would the same apply to somebody from maybe what you would term the far left? who, with equally divisive opinions about subjects. i mean, jeremy corbyn won�*t talk about jeremy corbyn won�*t talk about jeremy corbyn today quite a bit, but he

has, you know, said various unedifying things about terrorist groups. some people would find that offensive. so the same would apply to someone like jeremy corbyn. >> then i thinkjeremy corbyn is anti—semitic. and i think that if a business if a if hawksmoor decided, i mean, he's a vegan, but let's say he wasn�*t. if but let�*s say he wasn�*t. if hawksmoor decided they didn�*t want jeremy corbyn to hawksmoor decided they didn�*t wantjeremy corbyn to dine in his restaurant, that would be up to him just as much as it would if they didn't want me to eat there, or you to eat there. it's entirely up to them. this is not about left and right. this is about left and right. this is about businesses, private businesses having the right to refuse someone's custom for refuse someone�*s custom for whatever reason. it doesn't matter. they don�*t have to matter. they don't have to justify it. it is entirely up to them. and i think the people on them. and i think the people on the right who support tommy robinson. and as an aside, the most awful abuse i've ever received on social media has been for calling out tommy robinson. so i look forward to robinson. 50 i look forward to that. this afternoon. i received two death threats last time, and i�*m sure i'll get some more today. his supporters are today. his supp0|ters are disgusting people. he is a disgusting people. he is a disgusting person and it is entirely up to vauxhall. if they

don't want him to eat in their restaurant. >> okay, andy, you�*ve made your >> okay, andy, you've made your point extremely strongly there. that's political commentator that�*s political commentator andy williams. and please, no death threats. it's not worth that. this is a debate about whether somebody had the right to die and peacefully in a restaurant. that's andy's opinion. he's entitled to his opinion. he's entitled to his opinion. he's entitled to his opinion. he also said jeremy corbyn would potentially be treated the same way. and that's exactly fine as well. that's exactly fine as well. that�*s andy�*s opinion. what's your opinion? gbnews.com/poll now the restaurant concerned hawksmoor, as you heard andy mentioned, very expensive steak restaurant. i think the steaks are about £50 or something. says our focus is always to give the best restaurant experience to the most people possible. a public figure was asked to leave because guests and staff felt uncomfortable and had complained. this was not about politics or beliefs. we want to welcome as many people as possible, regardless of background or views to our teams as our guests. well, i mean, if it wasn't about his beliefs, what was it? i don't understand

that, but that is what they have to say. what do you think? gbnews.com/yoursay? now, if you want to escape the madness and i don't blame you if you are in don�*t blame you if you are in search of some holiday sun, here is a forecast for some of those top european destinations. >> i forecast a perfect holiday in the sun. >> weather. looking good. >> weather. looking good. >> then for sure. and no worries about our travel insurance. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> the heat wave continues across parts of europe, temperatures pushing into the high 305 and this is bringing some severe thunderstorms in places. but for many areas across spain, portugal, the canary islands largely dry and settled plenty of sunshine. the main risk of thunderstorms is going to be across northern italy, austria, perhaps southern parts of germany, but elsewhere across the mediterranean. staying dry, lots of hot sunshine and this continues into next week, so feeling very warm indeed. >> allclear travel insurance

sponsors gb news. travel destinations forecast. >> yes, indeed. okay, i'm dawn neesom this is gb news. there's neesom this is gb news. there�*s loads more coming up on today's show. it's incredibly packed and very few, very little time left. but i'm going to ask why on earth a macclesfield man is walking to ibiza from manchester in flip flops. wouldn't you? all of that much more to come. this is gb news,

much more to hello, welcome back to the weekend with me dawn neesom. loads of you getting in touch about the debate we�*re just having about the restaurant, our asking tommy robinson and a group of his friends behaving perfectly normally. nothing wrong with that to leave. saying they were asked to leave because a member of staff was upset and joe average. fair pointjoe, i forgot to mention it. it says, excuse me. in fairness, a lot of pubs have banned keir starmer, but do keep them coming in

gbnews.com/yoursay now, shall we go to ibiza? yes, let's. a 22 year old british man named henry moores is walking from manchester to ibiza in flip flops. why wouldn't you? to raise money for a children's cancer charity called be more fab. so far, henry has raised over 34 34,000 of his £50,000 target. joining me now from spain is the campaigner and flip flop man henry moores, who i understand is currently on day 61 of that walk. henry, thank you so much forjoining me this you so much for joining me this afternoon. right. it looks lovely where you are. how's it going and how are your feet? >> yeah, you know what? honestly. >> i was so. i'm so, so surprised. >> how are you holding up? >> how are you holding up? >> i�*ve come. >> i've come. >> i've come. >> across some problems, of course, but. >> i�*m like. i feel like i'm the >> i'm like. i feel like i'm the first person to ever try a long distance in flip flops. no one else can. even. i don't think anyone else can comment. like you say, a quick day at the beach here probably isn't too beach here probably isn�*t too fun, but you know, once got used to it, i've been fine.

>> what's the point of this? why are you doing this? >> yeah, i get asked a lot, obviously. you know, one of the main reasons fundraising for charities. but another reason is, you know, i feel like i'm is, you know, i feel like i�*m just getting old and my life's moving so fast, and i want to do things that i want to do personally. i want to be able to look back on my life and think, wow, you know, i've done that, i�*ve achieved that. and life�*s not all about, you know, rushing for a job or stressing about stupid things. i'm just trying to take time out and try and try and achieve things in my life, think. >> okay. and how are you breaking this walk up? this is day 61. how many miles are you walking a day? >> so we've chopped it down a little bit now because i had to give like a definite date of arrival on the beefer. so, you know, we've done 40 kilometre days, 30 kilometre days. and now until the end of the trip, it's going to be about 25km a day, which is about 17 miles. >> and how far have you got to go now? >> 450km down to dinner. >> 450km down to dinner. >> wow, that's still a bit of >> wow, that�*s still a bit of a hike and the weather looks

rather good, so i'm assuming rather good, so i�*m assuming it's very warm where you are as well. >> yeah, it�*s really hot. and >> yeah, it's really hot. and that's another problem. like, it's quite contrasting with france where, you know, we�*d rain often. and now in spain the only problem you got is chafing and sweating. >> the flip flops. i'm assuming we're talking about they are not the most comfortable shoes to wear. it has to be said. >> yeah. no, they've i'm surprised. but yeah, i've had i�*ve had slight problems of course. but that was the whole point of it really to look a bit daft. >> and henry, this is the second time you�*ve done this, isn't it. >> yeah. second time. yeah. from last year. it's been been last year. it�*s been been different from last year, but in good ways, good and bad ways. >> and what are you going to do when you finally get to ibiza? >> oh, about £10, i think. >> oh, about £10, i think. >> and i understand you're quite >> and i understand you�*re quite good friends with wayne lineker who supports what you're up to. >> yeah, he�*s a great guy, >> yeah, he's a great guy, wayne. yeah. i'm excited. i'll meet up with wayne ipp for a quick beer with him. he's a good quy- >> guy. >> there's 9111/- >> there's a picture guy. >> there's a picture of you with wayne where you can see on your screens now. okay. and so the first thing you�*re going to do first thing you're going to do when you get. oh, yeah. how how is your nutrition going on the

walk? are you hydrating properly or is it literally saving the main hydration until you get to ibiza? >> so i've certainly been >> so i�*ve certainly been hydrating. yeah. down the coast of spain. definitely. no, in all honesty, yeah, yeah, everything's been fine. the diet�*s not the best because he's, you know, you're grabbing stuff on the go all the time. you're grabbing pastries, quick food noodles. so, yeah, i�*ve had a better day at some points in my life, but, you know, i�*m here my life, but, you know, i'm here now. i've survived. >> enjoy that tapas. when you finally get to ibiza, that�*s finally get to ibiza, that's henry moores, who is walking to ibiza to raise money for charity. good luck with that one, henry. okay, well. thank you. thank you very much. well, i would walk to ibiza as well, to be honest with you. possibly not in flip flops. okay, well that's it. i've been dawn neesom. this has been gb news of the weekend. thank you so much for watching and for all your comments. i�*m sorry i didn't read as many out as i wanted to, but so many wanted to get in touch. i'm back tomorrow touch. i�*m back tomorrow lunchtime. lucky you. please do join me. but don't go anywhere because up next. yet she always is on. and this time is nana akua. and here she is with the

still see 1 or 2 heavy thundery showers across the south and southeast as we head to this evening, but then turning much drier from the west as we head into the early hours of sunday morning. some showers pushing in across parts of northern ireland, maybe western parts of scotland too, and still 1 or ireland, maybe western parts of scotland too, and still1 or2 scotland too, and still 1 or2 showers lingering across the east but turning a little chilly where we see those clear skies. although towns and cities generally holding up into the high single figures, that does mean, though a bit of a brighter start to sunday morning for many of us. plenty of early sunshine around, particularly across northern and eastern parts of scotland. the very far southwest, though, is where we'll start to see those showers pushing in, and particularly across parts of northern ireland. to 1 or2 of these could be heavy in places. northern parts of england seeing plenty of sunshine through the first part of the day, and much of the rest of england and wales seeing plenty of early sunshine through the morning, although perhaps a little cloudier across the far southwest and western parts of wales, where we start to see those showers coming through. then as we head towards the afternoon in the afternoon sunshine, we will see some showers bubbling up across much of the country, although these

generally lighter and generally more scattered than what we saw on saturday, although there still could be the odd rumble of thunder and the odd heavier downpour, particularly across the northern half of the country, feeling a little more pleasant. while we do catch the sunshine on sunday with highs of 1819, perhaps 20 degrees, but it will still be feeling quite blustery, particularly across the west as we go through the afternoon. then through sunday evening. much of the showers across southern and central parts of england. wales gradually push away eastwards, the northern half of the country still seeing plenty of showers to end the day. and that sets us up to end the day. and that sets us up for quite a changeable start to the week. plenty of showers, some longer spells of rain though perhaps turning a little warmer as we head towards the later part of the week. >> expect a warm front moving from the kitchen right through to the rest of the boxt boilers
